Abstract: This study represents the most comprehensive plastome-wide comparison of nucleotide substitution rates across the three subfamilies of Fabaceae: Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, and Papilionoideae. Caesalpinioid and mimosoid legumes have large, unrearranged plastomes compared with papilionoids, which exhibit… read more here.

Abstract: Twenty-nine DNA regions of plastid origin have been previously identified in the mitochondrial genome of Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin; Cucurbitaceae). Four of these regions harbor homolog sequences of rbcL, matK, rpl20–rps12 and trnL–trnF, which are widely… read more here.

Abstract: Geraniaceae organelle genomes have been shown to exhibit several highly unusual features compared to most other photosynthetic angiosperms. This includes massively rearranged plastomes with considerable size variation, extensive gene and intron loss, accelerated rates of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2204435119
Abstract: Significance We introduce a test of the null hypothesis that nucleotide substitution or amino acid replacement processes are independent of gap locations within sequence alignments. When applying this test to alignments that are informed by… read more here.
