Multiple major increases and decreases in mitochondrial substitution rates in the plant family Geraniaceae

Multiple major increases and decreases in mitochondrial substitution rates in the plant family Geraniaceae

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Rates of synonymous nucleotide substitutions are, in general, exceptionally low in plant mitochondrial genomes, several times lower than in chloroplast genomes, 10–20 times lower than in plant nuclear genomes, and 50–100 times lower...
