Abstract excerpt
There is a paradox in the plant mitochondrial genome, that is, the genic region evolves slowly while the intergenic region evolves rapidly. Thus, the intergenic regions of the plant mitochondrial genome are difficult to align across different species, even in closely related species. Here, to character the mechanism of this paradox, we identified interspecific variations in the Ginkgo biloba, Oryza sativa, and...
