Ginkgo and Welwitschia Mitogenomes Reveal Extreme Contrasts in Gymnosperm Mitochondrial Evolution.
Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of flowering plants are well known for their extreme diversity in size, structure, gene content, and rates of sequence evolution and recombination. In contrast, little is known about mitogenomic diversity and evolution within gymnosperms. Only a single complete genome sequence is available, from the cycad Cycas taitungensis, while limited information is avail...
متن کاملPlant Evolution: Pulses of Extinction and Speciation in Gymnosperm Diversity
Living gymnosperms represent the survivors of ancient seed plant lineages whose fossil record reaches back 270 million years. Two recent studies find that recent pulses of extinction and speciation have shaped today's gymnosperm diversity, contradicting the widespread assumption that gymnosperms have remained largely unchanged for tens of millions of years.
متن کاملAFLPs and Mitochondrial Haplotypes Reveal Local Adaptation to Extreme Thermal Environments in a Freshwater Gastropod
The way environmental variation shapes neutral and adaptive genetic variation in natural populations is a key issue in evolutionary biology. Genome scans allow the identification of the genetic basis of local adaptation without previous knowledge of genetic variation or traits under selection. Candidate loci for divergent adaptation are expected to show higher FST than neutral loci influenced s...
متن کاملExtreme sequence heteroplasmy in bat mitochondrial DNA.
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy is shown to be extensive when amplification products from the mitochondrial control region are cloned and sequenced from a European bat species. In contrast, a mitochondrial ribosomal RNA gene does not exhibit substantial levels of heteroplasmy when analyzed in an identical way. In the bat, heteroplasmy with respect to length as well as sequence seems to be transmitte...
متن کاملMitochondrial protein import receptors in Kinetoplastids reveal convergent evolution over large phylogenetic distances
Mitochondrial protein import is essential for all eukaryotes and mediated by hetero-oligomeric protein translocases thought to be conserved within all eukaryotes. We have identified and analysed the function and architecture of the non-conventional outer membrane (OM) protein translocase in the early diverging eukaryote Trypanosoma brucei. It consists of six subunits that show no obvious homolo...
