Chloroplast Genomic Variation in Euonymus maackii Rupr. and Its Differentiation Time in Euonymus

Yu-Cheng Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, the chloroplast genome of Euonymus maackii was assembled and annotated, showing a high level of intraspecific variation. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between E. maackii and E. hamiltonianus, while the Euonymus species formed a clade within the Euonymus subgenus.

Breaking the limits-multichromosomal structure of an early eudicot Pulsatilla patens mitogenome reveals extensive RNA-editing, longest repeats and chloroplast derived regions among sequenced land plant mitogenomes

Kamil Szandar et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the mitogenomes of a rare and endangered species, Pulsatilla patens, revealing a multi-chromosomal structure and shedding new light on mitogenomics of early eudicots. The mitogenome contains nearly a complete set of genes known from other vascular plants. The RNA editing potential is high in P. patens and comparative analysis showed high intra- and interspecific variation in mitochondrial genes.

The Roles of Mutation and Selection Acting on Mitochondrial Genomes Inferred from Intraspecific Variation in Seed Plants

Shenglong Kan et al.

Summary: There is a paradox in the evolution of plant mitochondrial genomes, with genic regions evolving slowly and intergenic regions evolving rapidly. This study identifies the mechanism behind this paradox and reveals interspecific variations in mitochondrial and plastid genomes. The findings suggest that mutation inputs are the same across different categories within the organelle genome, but the selection pressure varies. Copy number variations are also common in plant mitochondrial genomes.

Sequencing of Organellar Genomes of Nowellia curvifolia (Cephaloziaceae Jungermanniales) Revealed the Smallest Plastome with Complete Gene Set and High Intraspecific Variation Suggesting Cryptic Speciation

Jakub Sawicki et al.

Summary: Nowellia curvifolia is a widespread Holarctic species with a plastome that is the second smallest among photosynthetic liverworts. There is a low level of genetic differentiation between European and North American specimens, while Asian specimens show higher genetic diversity. Newly sequenced mitogenomes from European specimens exhibit identical gene content and structure to previously published ones, with low intercontinental differentiation.

Comparative Mitogenomic Analysis Reveals Gene and Intron Dynamics in Rubiaceae and Intra-Specific Diversification in Damnacanthus indicus

Eun-Kyeong Han et al.

Summary: This study assembled the mitochondrial genomes of six Damnacanthus indicus plants, revealing gene and intron characteristics, as well as variations in genome structure and sequence divergence. The size and gene content of D. indicus mitochondria differed from other angiosperms, with two distinct genome structures identified within the Rubioideae. The study proposed a two-step direct repeat-mediated recombination model to explain structural changes between the two identified genome types.
