Since the endosymbiont origin from α‐Proteobacteria, mitochondrial genomes have
undergone extremely divergent evolutionary trajectories among eukaryotic lineages …

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

Haemosporidians are a diverse group of vector-borne parasitic protozoa that includes the
agents of human malaria; however, most of the described species are found in birds and …

The fate of new mitochondrial and plastid mutations depends on their ability to persist and
spread among the numerous organellar genome copies within a cell (heteroplasmy). The …

Mitochondria are responsible for providing energy currency to life processes in the
molecular form of ATP and are therefore typically referred to as the power factories of cells …

Orchidaceae is one of the largest families of angiosperms. Considering the large number of
species in this family and its symbiotic relationship with fungi, Orchidaceae provide an ideal …

Plant mitochondrial DNA has been described as evolving rapidly in structure but slowly in
sequence. However, many of the noncoding portions of plant mitogenomes are not …

The mitochondrial genome of Liriodendron tulipifera exhibits many ancestral angiosperm
features and a remarkably slow evolutionary rate, while mitochondrial genomes of other …
