The paper compares mitochondrial genomes of Rafflesiaceae parasites and their host to show how horizontal gene transfer and structural changes lead to divergent mitogenome architectures.

The paper investigates how parasitic plants overcome expression barriers in mitochondrial HGT by using chimeric genes with native promoters and efficient RNA editing.

The paper characterizes the plastome of Mitrastemonaceae, revealing extreme AT bias, genome reduction, and functional persistence despite accelerated substitution rates.

This study investigates how photosynthesis loss and horizontal gene transfer reshape organellar translation and tRNA metabolism in holoparasitic plants.
