Plant Mitochondrial Genomes: Dynamics and Mechanisms of Mutation.
Annual review of plant biology - 28 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt
The large mitochondrial genomes of angiosperms are unusually dynamic because of recombination activities involving repeated sequences. These activities generate subgenomic forms and extensive genomic variation even within the same species. Such changes in genome structure are responsible for the rapid evolution of plant mitochondrial DNA and for the variants associated with cytoplasmic male sterility and abnormal...
