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

Mitochondrial function depends on the coordinate action of nuclear and mitochondrial
genomes. The genetic dissection of these interactions presents special challenges in …

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 …

Mitochondria and plastids are DNA-containing cell organelles whose genomes occur at high
copy numbers per cell. Organellar genomes vary greatly in size ranging from approximately …

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

The inner membrane of a plant mitochondrion contains the mitochondrial electron transport
chain (mtETC), consisting of protein complexes that use an energy source-derived reductant …

Ecological Genetics addresses the fundamental problems of which of the many molecular
markers should be used and how the resulting data should be analysed in clear, accessible …

Members of the flowering plant family Cucurbitaceae harbor the largest known mitochondrial
genomes. Here, we report the 1685-kb mitochondrial genome of cucumber (Cucumis …

The mitochondrion stands at the center of cell energy metabolism. It contains its own
genome, the mtDNA, that is a relic of its prokaryotic symbiotic ancestor. In plants, the …

Unlike the typical single circular structure of most animal mitochondrial genomes
(mitogenome), the drastic structural variation of plant mitogenomes is a result of a mixture of …
