Evolutionary dynamics of mitochondrial genomes and intracellular transfers among diploid and allopolyploid cotton species
A comprehensive analysis of organellar genome variation demonstrates complex structural variation and low mutation rates across the entire mitogenome and reveals the history of organellar genome transfer among the three genomes throughout the cotton genus. The findings enhance our general understanding of mitogenome evolution, comparative organellar and nuclear evolutionary rates, and the history of inter-compartment genomic integration.
