Plant Mitochondria are a Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery Inside an Enigma.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Apr 2021

Christensen Alan C

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental paradox motivates the study of plant mitochondrial genomics: the mutation rate is very low (lower than in the nucleus) but the rearrangement rate is high. A landmark paper published in Journal of Molecular Evolution in 1988 established these facts and revealed the paradox. Jeffrey Palmer and Laura Herbon did a prodigious amount of work in the pre-genome sequencing era to identify both the high...
