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

Background Plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) can be structurally complex while
their size can vary from~ 222 Kbp in Brassica napus to 11.3 Mbp in Silene conica. To date …

Main conclusion We assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Scutellaria
tsinyunensis in this study. Repeat-mediated recombination resulted in the formation of two …

Highlights•Uniparental inheritance of mitochondrial genomes helps mitigate intragenomic
conflict and allows for selection against selfish mutations.•Exclusive paternal inheritance of …

Background Bupleurum chinense (B. chinense) is a plant that is widely distributed globally
and has strong pharmacological effects. Though the chloroplast (cp) genome of B. chinense …

Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of angiosperms. Considering the large number of
species in this family and its symbiotic relationship with fungi, Orchidaceae provide an ideal …

Plant mitochondrial DNA has been described as evolving rapidly in structure but slowly in
sequence. However, many of the noncoding portions of plant mitogenomes are not …

Plant mitochondrial genomes vary widely in size. Although many plant mitochondrial
genomes have been sequenced and assembled, the vast majority are of angiosperms, and …

The mitochondrial genome of Liriodendron tulipifera exhibits many ancestral angiosperm
features and a remarkably slow evolutionary rate, while mitochondrial genomes of other …

Background The mitochondrion is an important cellular component in plants and that
functions in producing vital energy for the cell. However, the evolution and structure of …
