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 assesses the sensitivity of genome-wide tests for mitonuclear genetic incompatibilities using Xiphophorus fish hybrids and finds inconsistent support for class-based covariation in mitonuclear ancestry.

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.
