Sequence transfers in plant organelle genomes were pivotal in plant development and diversification. Recent advances in sequencing technologies have catalyzed studies in this field, allowing for detailed investigation into the mechanisms and consequences of such sequence transfers. This research is vital in unravelling the complex evolutionary history of plants, providing insights into gene regulation, adaptation strategies, and potential applications in plant breeding and conservation.
This special issue is dedicated to exploring the phenomenon of sequence transfer in plant organelle genomes, an area that has seen significant research interest in recent years. The focus is on transferring genetic material between the chloroplast, mitochondrial, and nuclear genomes within plants, which plays a crucial role in plant evolution and adaptation. We aim to compile various studies employing various methodologies to understand these sequence transfers' mechanisms, consequences, and evolutionary significance.
We invite submissions formatted as original research, brief research reports, systematic reviews, mini-reviews, opinions, and perspectives. The work should be of high quality and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
• Mechanisms of sequence transfer between chloroplast, mitochondrial, and nuclear genomes in plants.
• Impact of sequence transfer on plant genome evolution and adaptation.
• Comparative genomics studies highlighting sequence transfers across different plant taxa.
• Phylogenetic implications of organelle-to-nucleus gene transfer.
• Molecular and evolutionary consequences of sequence transfer for plant organelle genomes.
• Technological advances and novel methods in detecting and analyzing sequence transfers in plant genomes.
• Case studies of significant sequence transfer events in specific plant species or groups.
Keywords:
Chloroplast genomes, mitochondrial genomes, sequence transfer, plant evolution, genome adaptation, comparative genomics, phylogenetics, molecular evolution, plant genomics
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
