Conserved genes, discordant structure: a pangenomic view of plant mitochondrial genome evolution

Max R. Brown, Jim Downie, Nathan M Riley…·Alex D. Twyford

This study analyzes over 300 plant mitochondrial genomes to show that gene content is conserved but structural complexity varies, driven by repeat proliferation and recombination rather than intergenomic DNA transfer.
