Miniaturized mitogenome of the parasitic plant Viscum scurruloideum is extremely divergent and dynamic and has lost all nad genes
Open accessAbstract
Significance: The mitochondrial genomes of flowering plants are characterized by an extreme and often perplexing diversity in size, organization, and mutation rate, but their primary genetic function, in respiration, is extremely well conserved. Here we present the mitochondrial genome of an aerobic parasitic plant, the mistletoe Viscum scurruloideum . This genome is miniaturized, shows clear signs of rapid and degenerative evolution, and lacks all genes for complex I of the respiratory electron-transfer chain. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the loss of this key respiratory complex in any multicellular eukaryote. The Viscum mitochondrial genome has taken a unique overall tack in evolution that, to some extent, likely reflects the progression of a specialized parasitic lifestyle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
