Mitochondrial genome evolution in Alismatales: Size reduction and extensive loss of ribosomal protein genes.

Mitochondrial genome evolution in Alismatales: Size reduction and extensive loss of ribosomal protein genes.

The order Alismatales is a hotspot for evolution of plant mitochondrial genomes characterized by remarkable differences in genome size, substitution rates, RNA editing, retrotranscription, gene loss and intron loss. Here we have sequenced the complete mitogenomes of Zostera marina and Stratiotes alo...
