Abstract excerpt
Structural rearrangements characteristic for plant mitochondrial DNA often result in the appearance of genes in new genomic environments. The determination of the real number of gene copies is difficult since the in vivo structure of plant mitochondrial genomes is questionable. It is still uncertain whether the gene copy number regulates transcription in plant mitochondria. Using the real-time PCR technique we...
