Rate accelerations in nuclear 18S rDNA of mycoheterotrophic and parasitic angiosperms.

Journal of plant research - 1 Sept 2011

Lemaire Benny, Huysmans Suzy, Smets Erik, Merckx Vincent

Abstract excerpt

Rate variation in genes from all three genomes has been observed frequently in plant lineages with a parasitic and mycoheterotrophic mode of life. While the loss of photosynthetic ability leads to a relaxation of evolutionary constraints in genes involved in the photosynthetic apparatus, it remains to be determined how prevalent increased substitution rates are in nuclear DNA of non-photosynthetic angiosperms. In...
