Native and foreign mitochondrial and nuclear encoded proteins conform the OXPHOS complexes of a holoparasitic plant

Leonardo M. Gatica-Soria et al.

Summary: The intimate contact between the holoparasitic plant Lophophytum mirabile and its host plant facilitates genetic information exchange and increases the frequency of horizontal gene transfer. Lophophytum acquired a large number of mitochondrial genes from its legume host, which replaced the majority of the native homologs. The origin and existence of nuclear subunits forming the OXPHOS and ccm system in Lophophytum remain unknown, but indications of potential cooperation between foreign mitochondrial and nuclear genes have been observed.

Organellar transcripts dominate the cellular mRNA pool across plants of varying ploidy levels

Evan S. Forsythe et al.

Summary: Mitochondrial and plastid functions depend on the coordinated expression of proteins encoded by different genomic compartments, and polyploidy may pose challenges to this coordination. Through RNA-seq analysis, it was found that plastid genomes generate the majority of mRNA transcripts in the cell, despite having a much smaller number of genes compared to the nuclear genome. The mRNA imbalance between nuclear and organellar genes does not impede the coordination of cyto-nuclear expression, as they show strong correlations in transcript abundances across functional categories.

Graph-based models of the Oenothera mitochondrial genome capture the enormous complexity of higher plant mitochondrial DNA organization

Axel Fischer et al.

Summary: Plant mitochondrial genomes are structurally complex and challenging to assemble due to recombining repeat-pairs. Researchers have developed a bioinformatic data-processing pipeline called SAGBAC, which can identify repeat-pairs and reconstruct plant mitochondrial genomes. The approach was applied to evening primrose mitochondrial genomes, revealing structural diversity and phylogenetic variation of the repeats. The model allows prediction of all recombination events and sub-genomes.

Phylogenomics resolves deep subfamilial relationships in Malvaceae s.l.

Tijana Cvetkovic et al.

Summary: This study used plastid genomes of 48 samples to resolve relationships within major clades of Malvaceae, confirming the split of the family into two branches and revealing the origins of subfamilies. The findings provide a strong phylogenetic framework for downstream revisions and evolutionary studies of Malvaceae.

Genomic structural variants constrain and facilitate adaptation in natural populations of Theobroma cacao, the chocolate tree

Tuomas Hamala et al.

Summary: The study uses 31 chromosome-scale, haplotype-resolved genome assemblies of Theobroma cacao to investigate the fitness consequences of structural variants (SVs) in natural populations. It reveals that the majority of SVs are deleterious, influencing gene expression and likely impairing gene function. Despite the overall detrimental effects, individual SVs bearing signatures of local adaptation are identified, some of which are associated with differentially expressed genes between populations, particularly those involved in pathogen resistance.
