The serial endosymbiosis theory is a favored model for explaining the origin of mitochondria,
a defining event in the evolution of eukaryotic cells. As usually described, this theory posits …

Although the collection of completely sequenced mitochondrial genomes is expanding
rapidly, only recently has a phylogenetically broad representation of mtDNA sequences from …

Dr. Harris has played a major role in the development of this organism as a model system.
Her previous version of the Chlamydomonas Sourcebook which published in 1989, has …

The past decade has seen the determination of complete mitochondrial genome sequences
from a taxonomically diverse set of organisms. These data have allowed an unprecedented …

Mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced from a wide variety of organisms, including
an increasing number of parasites. They maintain some characteristics in common across …

Green plants appear to comprise two sister lineages, Chlorophyta (classes Chlorophyceae,
Ulvophyceae, Trebouxiophyceae, and Prasinophyceae) and Streptophyta (Charophyceae …

Two distinct mitochondrial genome types have been described among the green algal
lineages investigated to date: a reduced–derived, Chlamydomonas-like type and an …

To gain insights into the nature of the mitochondrial genome in the common ancestor of all
green plants, we have completely sequenced the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are involved in one of the most widespread plant–fungus
interactions. A number of studies on the population dynamics of AM fungi have used …

Sequences similar to mitochondrial large and small subunit rRNAs are found as small
scattered fragments on a tandemly reiterated 6 kb element in the human malaria parasite …
