Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination sequences in plant mitochondrial genomes: diversity and homologies to known mitochondrial genes
David B. Stern,Jeffrey D. Palmer +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that strong sequence homologies exist between the spinach and turnip recombination repeats and essentially all other mitochondrial genomes tested, whereas a major maize recombination repeat does not hybridize to any other mtDNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cyanobacterial origin and vertical transmission of the plastid tRNA(Leu) group-I intron.
TL;DR: Its present-day distribution in plastids is consistent with a history of strictly vertical transmission, with no losses in land plants, several losses among green algae, and nearly pervasive loss in the Rhodophyta and its secondary derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple acquisitions via horizontal transfer of a group I intron in the mitochondrial cox1 gene during evolution of the Araceae family.
Yangrae Cho,Jeffrey D. Palmer +1 more
TL;DR: Striking differences in lengths of exonic co-conversion tracts, coupled with the absence of co-Conversion in intron-lacking taxa, indicate that the six introns-containing Araceae probably acquired their introns by at least three and quite possibly five separate horizontal transfers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analysis reveals five independent transfers of the chloroplast gene rbcL to the mitochondrial genome in angiosperms
Michael P. Cummings,Jacqueline M. Nugent,Jacqueline M. Nugent,Richard G. Olmstead,Richard G. Olmstead,Jeffrey D. Palmer +5 more
TL;DR: All five mitochondrial copies of rbcL examined exhibit insertion and/or deletion events that disrupt the reading frame; and all are elevated in the proportion of nonsynonymous substitutions, providing clear evidence that these sequences are pseudogenes.
