Plant mitochondrial DNA

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2017
Plants possess mitochondrial genomes that are large and complex compared to animals. Nearly all animal mitochondrial genomes are about 16.5. kbp in length, whereas plant mitochondrial genomes range between 200-2,000 kbp. This is curious if we assume modern mitochondria originated from a common alpha-proteobacterial ancestor.

Mitochondrial DNA sequencing of a wet-collection syntype demonstrates the importance of type material as genetic resource for lantern shark taxonomy (Chondrichthyes: Etmopteridae)

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
After initial detection of target archival DNA of a 116-year-old syntype specimen of the smooth lantern shark, Etmopterus pusillus, in a single-stranded DNA library, we shotgun-sequenced additional 9 million reads from this same DNA library.

A rapid and efficient method for enriching mitochondrial DNA from plants

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
Current mitochondrial purification techniques are tedious and protracted due to their emphasis on recovering physiologically active mitochondria. However, for studies that are exclusively interested in isolating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for applications

A Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence from a Mesolithic Wild Aurochs (Bos primigenius) [PDF]

, 2010
Background The derivation of domestic cattle from the extinct wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) has been well-documented by archaeological and genetic studies.

The Role of Mitochondria in Human Fertility and Early Embryo Development: What Can We Learn for Clinical Application of Assessing and Improving Mitochondrial DNA?

Cells, 2022
Mitochondria are well known as ‘the powerhouses of the cell’. Indeed, their major role is cellular energy production driven by both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA.

Defects of Mitochondrial DNA

Brain Pathology, 1992
In the past few years several syndromes have been associated with lesions of the human mitochondrial DNA. MtDNA is a small, circular extra‐nuclear chromosome encoding essential components of the respiratory chain. MtDNA‐related syndromes can be divided into two groups: mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, characterized by the presence of ragged‐red ...

Structure–Function Analysis Reveals the Singularity of Plant Mitochondrial DNA Replication Components: A Mosaic and Redundant System

Plants, 2019
Plants are sessile organisms, and their DNA is particularly exposed to damaging agents. The integrity of plant mitochondrial and plastid genomes is necessary for cell survival.

Mitochondrial DNA and disease [PDF]

The Journal of Pathology, 2011
AbstractMitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) defects are a relatively common cause of inherited disease and have been implicated in both ageing and cancer. MtDNA encodes essential subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and defects result in impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

A new method for long-read sequencing of animal mitochondrial genomes: application to the identification of equine mitochondrial DNA variants

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Mitochondrial DNA is remarkably polymorphic. This is why animal geneticists survey mitochondrial genomes variations for fundamental and applied purposes.

Maternal age effect and severe germ-line bottleneck in the inheritance of human mitochondrial DNA [PDF]

, 2014
The manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases depends on the frequency of heteroplasmy (the presence of several alleles in an individual), yet its transmission across generations cannot be readily predicted owing to a lack of data on the size ...
