A morphological view on mitochondrial protein targeting [PDF]
, 1994 Mitochondrial protein targeting includes both intramitochondrial sorting of proteins encoded by the organellar genome and import and subsequent sorting of nuclear encoded precursor proteins. Only a few proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome and

BMC Genomics, 2018 BackgroundMitochondrial genomes of flowering plants (angiosperms) are highly dynamic in genome structure. The mitogenome of the earliest angiosperm Amborella is remarkable in carrying rampant foreign DNAs, in contrast to Liriodendron, the other only ...

Transformation of the mitochondrial genome
The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2013 Although mitochondrial transformation is highly desirable in mammals and plants, it is only possible in two unicellular organisms, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Here, we give an overview of the attempts made to transform mitochondria of mammals and plants and the possible reasons ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Caprella scaura (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Caprellidea), with emphasis on the unique gene order pattern and duplicated control region [PDF]
, 2010 The nucleotide and amino acid sequences and the gene order of the mitochondrial genome are highly informative for studying phylogeny, population genetics, and phylogeography.

High and Variable Rates of Repeat-Mediated Mitochondrial Genome Rearrangement in a Genus of Plants
Molecular biology and evolution, 2018 For 30 years, it has been clear that angiosperm mitochondrial genomes evolve rapidly in sequence arrangement (i.e., synteny), yet absolute rates of rearrangement have not been measured in any plant group, nor is it known how much these rates vary.

Analysis of two genomes from the mitochondrion-like organelle of the intestinal parasite Blastocystis: complete sequences, gene content, and genome organization. [PDF]
, 2008 Acquisition of mitochondria by the ancestor of all living eukaryotes represented a crucial milestone in the evolution of the eukaryotic cell. Nevertheless, a number of anaerobic unicellular eukaryotes have secondarily discarded certain mitochondrial ...

Multiple mitochondrial introgression events and heteroplasmy in trypanosoma cruzi revealed by Maxicircle MLST and next generation sequencing [PDF]
, 2012 Background Mitochondrial DNA is a valuable taxonomic marker due to its relatively fast rate of evolution. In Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, the mitochondrial genome has a unique structural organization consisting of 20–50 ...

Population genomics of the Wolbachia endosymbiont in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Richardson MF, Weinert LA, Welch JJ, Linheiro RS, Magwire MM, et
al. (2012) Population Genomics of the Wolbachia Endosymbiont in Drosophila
melanogaster. PLoS Genet 8(12): e1003129, 2012 Wolbachia are maternally-inherited symbiotic bacteria commonly found in arthropods, which are able to manipulate the reproduction of their host in order to maximise their transmission. Here we use whole genome resequencing data from 290 lines of Drosophila melanogaster from North America, Europe and Africa to predict Wolbachia infection status ...
