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

Analysis of organellar genomes strongly supports the idea that chloroplasts and
mitocbondrta originated in evolution as eubacteria-llke endosymbiouts, whose closest …

The three decades since the discovery of chloroplast DNA (chNA; re—viewed in Kirk, 1986)
have been marked by an ever increasing depth and breadth in our understanding of the …

The first edition of this book, published by University Press of New England in 1986, sold
over 2500 copies, and was received as the best introductory overview of this broad field …

Samples taken from throughout the ranges of distribution of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta
Dougl. ex. Loud.) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) were assayed for Sal I and Sst I …

Key message We reported the mitochondrial genome of Taraxacum mongolicum for the first
time. Five pairs of repeats that can mediate recombination were validated, leading to …

Three major tasks confront the molecular-evolutionary biologist. The first and most central of
these is to describe the natural history of a particular genome. This involves determining …

We have characterized a 3547 bp DNA fragment from male-sterile (cms-T) maize
mitochondria, designated TURF 2H3, selected because of its unique and abundant …

The Texas cytoplasm of maize carries two cytoplasmically inherited traits, male sterility and
disease susceptibility, which have been of great interest both for basic research and plant …

The small size of the animal mitochondrial genome (about 17 kilobasc-pairs in most
metazoan animals, or roughly 0.001% of the total length of mammalian nuclear DNA), belies …
