Plant Mitochondria

Mihondria are the product of a long evolutionary history. It is now a well established fact that mihondria did evolve from free living bacteria being the common ancestor of both, eukaryotic mihondria and α-proteobacteria. Advances in genome sequencing, the establishment of in organello and in vitro assays to name only a few, contributed significantly to advances in plant mihondrial research. Second generation sequencing and the ability to directly sequence and analyse the whole plant transc...
