Comparative mitogenomic analysis of Sporisorium reilianum f. sp. zeae suggests recombination events during its evolutionary history
The results of this study hint at potential horizontal gene transfer or mitochondrial genome recombination events during the evolutionary history of basidiomycetes. Additionally, the distinct polymorphic region detected in the Chinese mitogenome provides the ideal foundation to develop a diagnostic method to discern between mitotypes and enhance knowledge on the genetic diversity of this organism.
