Abstract excerpt
Sublimons are substoichiometric DNA molecules which are generated by recombinations across short repeats, located in main mitochondrial genome of plants. Since short repeats are believed to recombine irreversibly and to be usually inactive, it is unknown how substoichiometric sequences are maintained. Occasionally, sublimons are amplified during substoichiometric shifting (SSS) and take the role of the main...
