Intracellular gene transfer (IGT) events from the mitochondrial genome to the plastid genome of the subtribe ferulinae drude (Apiaceae) and their implications.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracellular gene transfer (IGT) is a phenomenon in genome evolution that occurs between the nuclear and organellar genomes of plants or between the genomes of different organelles. The majority of the plastid genomes (plastomes) in angiosperms have a conserved structure, but some species exhibit unexpected structural variations.

Results

In this study, we focused on the Ferulinae, which includes Ferula, one of the largest genera in the Apiaceae family. We discovered IGTs in the rps12-trnV IGS region of the plastome's inverted repeat (IR). We found that partial mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences, ranging in length from about 2.8 to 5.8 kb, were imported into the plastome. In addition to these, that are known from other Scandiceae subtribes, the Ferulinae
