Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial substitution rate variation in the angiosperm tribe Sileneae.

BMC evolutionary biology - 31 Oct 2009

Sloan Daniel B, Oxelman Bengt, Rautenberg Anja, Taylor Douglas R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed that the mitochondrial genome of the angiosperm Silene noctiflora (Caryophyllaceae) has experienced a massive mutation-driven acceleration in substitution rate, placing it among the fastest evolving eukaryotic genomes ever identified. To date, it appears that other species within Silene have maintained more typical substitution rates, suggesting that the...
