Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial genome evolution(MGE) in flowering plants is quasi-intertwined-dynamic. MGE is driven via mutational pressures, translational selection, and functional constraints. However, unveiling the intra- and inter-genomic interplay governing evolutionary drives remains challenging. We investigate MGE-dynamic across twelve Gentianales species, revealing distinct codon usage patterns influenced by opposing...
