Plant mitochondrial DNA evolves rapidly in structure, but slowly in sequence.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jan 2000

Palmer J D, Herbon L A

Abstract excerpt

We examined the tempo and mode of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolution in six species of crucifers from two genera, Brassica and Raphanus. The six mtDNAs have undergone numerous internal rearrangements and therefore differ dramatically with respect to the sizes of their subgenomic circular chromos...
