The large mitochondrial genomes of angiosperms are unusually dynamic because of
recombination activities involving repeated sequences. These activities generate …

Simple Summary Research on plant epigenetics aims to understand how endogenous,
biotic, and abiotic factors regulate plant development and growth independent of changes in …

Geraniaceae plastid genomes are highly rearranged, and each of the four genera already
sequenced in the family has a distinct genome organization. This study reports plastid …

Plant mitochondria have a complex and peculiar genetic system. They have the largest
genomes, as compared to organelles from other eukaryotic organisms. These can expand …

Since the endosymbiont origin from α‐Proteobacteria, mitochondrial genomes have
undergone extremely divergent evolutionary trajectories among eukaryotic lineages …

The mitochondrion stands at the center of cell energy metabolism. It contains its own
genome, the mtDNA, that is a relic of its prokaryotic symbiotic ancestor. In plants, the …

Plastids contain multiple copies of the plastid chromosome, folded together with proteins
and RNA into nucleoids. The degree to which components of the plastid gene expression …

The plastid genome (plastome) has proved a valuable source of data for evaluating
evolutionary relationships among angiosperms. Through basic and applied approaches …

Plants transmit signals long distances, as evidenced in grafting experiments that create
distinct rootstock-scion junctions. Noncoding small RNA is a signaling molecule that is graft …

The plastid transcription machinery can be biochemically purified at different organisational
levels as soluble RNA polymerase, transcriptionally active chromosome, or nucleoid. Recent …
