Abstract excerpt
Multichromosomal mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) structures have repeatedly evolved in many lineages of angiosperms. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The mitogenomes of three genera of Balanophoraceae, namely Lophophytum, Ombrophytum, and Rhopalocnemis, have already been sequenced and assembled, all showing a highly multichromosomal structure, albeit with different genome and chromosome sizes....
