Most heritable information in eukaryotic cells is encoded in the nuclear genome, with
inheritance patterns following classic Mendelian segregation. Genomes residing in the …

Most diploid organisms have polyploid ancestors. The evolutionary process of
polyploidization is poorly understood but has frequently been conjectured to involve some …

Mitochondrial and plastid functions depend on coordinated expression of proteins encoded
by genomic compartments that have radical differences in copy number of organellar and …

Mitochondrial (mt) and nuclear-encoded proteins are integrated in aerobic respiration,
requiring co-functionality among gene products from fundamentally different genomes …

Topological cytonuclear discordance is commonly observed in plant phylogenetic and
phylogeographic studies, yet few studies have attempted to detect two other forms of …

The plant genome is partitioned across three distinct subcellular compartments: the nucleus,
mitochondria, and plastids. Successful coordination of gene expression among these …

The interaction and coevolution between nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes are one of the
fundamental hallmarks of eukaryotic genome evolution and, 2 billion yr later, are still major …

Nuclear and plastid (chloroplast) genomes experience different mutation rates, levels of
selection, and transmission modes, yet key cellular functions depend on their coordinated …

The interaction between the nuclear and chloroplast genomes in plants is crucial for
preserving essential cellular functions in the face of varying rates of mutation, levels of …

Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are a prominent process of diversification in
eukaryotes. The genetic and evolutionary forces that WGD imposes on cytoplasmic …
