This study analyzes organellar genome dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana using high-quality long-read assemblies, revealing rapid mitochondrial rearrangements and shared structural variants with plastids.

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.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to study mitochondrial and plastid genome variants in Arabidopsis msh1 mutants, revealing recombination dynamics and structural rearrangements.

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.

This study investigates angiosperm mitochondrial genome divergence in Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that selection, not mutation rates, drives differences between genic and intergenic regions.

The paper presents the tuatara genome, highlighting its evolutionary significance and unique features compared to other vertebrates.

The paper corrects errors in the Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 mitochondrial reference genome using publicly available Illumina data.
