The functional content of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is highly diverse across
eukaryotes. Among land plants, our understanding of the variation in mitochondrial gene …

Ever since its discovery, the double-stranded DNA contained in the mitochondria of
eukaryotes has fascinated researchers because of its bacterial endosymbiotic origin, crucial …

The probability D that a given clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
(CRISPR)based gene drive element contaminates another, nontarget species can be …

Mitochondria play key roles in cellular-energy metabolism and are vital for plant-life, such as
for successful germination and early-seedling establishment. Most mitochondria contain …

The mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of plants are known to incorporate and
accumulate DNA from intra-and extracellular donors. Despite the intimate relationships …

Synonymous substitution rates in plant mitochondrial genomes vary by orders of magnitude
among species, whereas synonymous rates among genes within a genome are generally …

Plant mitochondrial genomes exhibit unique evolutionary patterns. They have a high
rearrangement but low mutation rate, and a large size. Based on massive mitochondrial …

Heterotrophic plants—plants that have lost the ability to photosynthesize—are characterized
by a number of changes at all levels of organization. Heterotrophic plants are divided into …

Fagopyrum esculentum (common buckwheat) is an important agricultural non-cereal grain
plant. Despite extensive genetic studies, the information on its mitochondrial genome is still …

Abstract Background Increased contamination of European and Asian wheat and barley
crops with “emerging” mycotoxins such as enniatins or beauvericin, produced by Fusarium …
