Publisher Summary This chapter highlights endosymbiont hypothesis. All contemporary
genomes (including those of plastids and mitochondria) ultimately derive from a single …

The nuclear genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana contains a small gene family
consisting of three genes encoding RNA polymerases of the single-subunit bacteriophage …

Group II introns are large catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) which are found in bacteria and
organellar genomes of several lower eukaryotes, but are particularly prevalent within the …

The organization and expression of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of fertile, male-sterile
and restored lines of Helianthus annuus and of H. petiolaris were compared to identify …

To identify regions of the mitochondrial genome that potentially could specify the"
Polima"(pol) cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) of Brassica napus, transcripts of 14 …

Based on next-generation sequencing data, we assembled the mitochondrial (mt) genome
of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) into a circular molecule of 715,001 bp in length. The mt …

Two different cytoplasmic male-sterility (CMS) systems, nap and pol, are found in the oilseed
rape (canola) species Brassica napus. Physical mapping studies have previously shown …

Transcription of mitochondrial genes in animals, fungi, and plants relies on the activity of
T3/T7 phage-type RNA polymerases. Two such enzymes, RPOTm and RPOTmp, are …

Abstract With CR–RT–PCR as primary approach we mapped the 5′ and 3′ transcript
ends of all mitochondrial protein-coding genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. Almost all transcripts …

▪ Abstract The nucleus must coordinate organelle biogenesis and function on a cell and
tissue-specific basis throughout plant development. The vast majority of plastid and …
