The paper compares mitochondrial and chloroplast proteomes across two flowering plant species to understand how gene loss and transfer affect organellar translation machinery.

This study identifies MutS2A and MutS2B as critical for plastid ribosome quality control in Arabidopsis, resolving ribosome collisions and supporting tissue greening during de-etiolation.

The paper measures mutation rates in plant mitochondrial and plastid genomes of msh1 mutants and finds significantly higher rates compared to wild-type plants.

The paper investigates how recombination machinery affects mutation rates in plant organellar genomes using mutant lines and sequencing techniques.

This study investigates the expansion of the MutS gene family in plants, identifying origins through gene duplication, endosymbiotic gene transfer, and horizontal gene transfer, and highlights their roles in organelle genetics.

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Silene conica using PacBio HiFi, Hi-C, and Bionano technologies, revealing a reduced chromosome number and a large mitochondrial genome.

The paper introduces a maximum likelihood approach to analyze mtDNA heteroplasmy data, showing that traditional statistics can lead to false positives in detecting selection and bottleneck effects.

The paper provides genomic and transcriptomic resources for Silene noctiflora, including a long-read transcriptome and draft genome assembly, to support research in plant ecology and evolution.

The paper detects de novo mitochondrial mutations in Silene species, revealing variation in mutation rates and mutational spectra across closely related angiosperms.

This study shows that MSH1 is critical for maintaining low mutation rates in plant mitochondrial and plastid genomes by correcting errors through homologous recombination.
