Complete mitochondrial genomes of the hemiparasitic genus Cymbaria (Orobanchaceae): insights into repeat-mediated recombination, phylogenetic relationships, and horizontal gene transfer
We reported the mitochondrial genome in hemiparasitic Cymbaria species for the first time, which are characterized by multiple repeat-mediated recombination and little to no intracellular and horizontal gene transfer. Our findings provide valuable genetic insights for further studies on the mitogenome evolution of hemiparasitic plants.
