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

DNA molecules in mitochondria, just like those in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, are
constantly damaged by noxious agents. Eukaryotic cells have developed efficient …

Plant mitochondrial genomes are usually assembled and displayed as circular maps based
on the widely-held view across the broad community of life scientists that circular genome …

Mitochondrial and plastid genomes show a wide array of architectures, varying immensely in
size, structure, and content. Some organelle DNAs have even developed elaborate …

Genome size and complexity vary tremendously among eukaryotic species and their
organelles. Comparisons across deeply divergent eukaryotic lineages have suggested that …

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 …

One of the most remarkable biological insights in the past 30 years has been that many
genetic programs for complex traits, such as flower or limb development, are shared across …

Metabolomics approaches enable the parallel assessment of the levels of a broad range of
metabolites and have been documented to have great value in both phenotyping and …

Evolution in allopatric populations can lead to incompatibilities that result in reduced hybrid
fitness and ultimately reproductive isolation upon secondary contact. The D obzhansky–M …

Differences between plant genomes range from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-
scale duplications, deletions and rearrangements. The large polymorphisms are termed …
