Abstract

Due to issues with the typesetting process, there were errors in Table 1. The correct version of the table is available here:

Highlights

  • The mitochondrial genomes of embryophytes or land plants are renowned among eukaryotes for their astonishing complexity, and evolutionary plasticity seems to prevail among angiosperms in particular

  • The majority of mitochondrial genomes can be mapped to a single circular molecule, except in Silene and Cucumis where they were mapped to several individual chromosomes [3,4]

  • As we did not perform similar searches with the remaining intergenic regions of the mitochondrial genome we cannot rule out the possibility that some of these may include sequences of nuclear origin, but we assume that the general content of nuclear DNA in the Butomus mitochondrial genome is very low

Summary

Introduction

The mitochondrial genomes of embryophytes or land plants are renowned among eukaryotes for their astonishing complexity, and evolutionary plasticity seems to prevail among angiosperms in particular. Phylogenetic Analyses Sequences of mitochondrial genes from Butomus and seed plant species, for which the complete mitochondrial genome is available, were extracted from GenBank (see Table 1). As we did not perform similar searches with the remaining intergenic regions of the mitochondrial genome we cannot rule out the possibility that some of these may include sequences of nuclear origin, but we assume that the general content of nuclear DNA in the Butomus mitochondrial genome is very low .
