Comparative organelle genomics in Daphniphyllaceae reveal phylogenetic position and organelle structure evolution by Rongxiang Zhang, Ying Liu, Shuwen Liu, Yuemei Zhao, Niyan Xiang, Xiaoman Gao, Tao Yuan

“…The plastome had a more conserved structure but a faster nucleotide substitution rate, and the mitogenome showed a more complex structure while the mitotic genome shows a more complex structure but a slower nucleotide substitution rate. We identified several unidirectional protein-coding gene transfer events from the plastome to the mitogenome based on homology analysis, but no transfer events occurred from the mitogenome to the plastome. …”
