Mitochondrial Phylogenomics of Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae) Reveals a Potentially Functional Horizontal Gene Transfer from the Host

Q Lin, A Banerjee, S Stefanović - Genome Biology and Evolution, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) from host or other organisms have been reported in
mitochondrial genomes of parasitic plants. Genes transferred in this fashion have usually …

Plastid phylogenomics and molecular evolution of Thismiaceae (Dioscoreales)

N Garrett, J Viruel, N Klimpert… - American Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Premise Species in Thismiaceae can no longer photosynthesize and instead obtain
carbon from soil fungi. Here we infer Thismiaceae phylogeny using plastid genome data and …
