Double-strand break repair processes drive evolution of the mitochondrial genome in Arabidopsis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The mitochondrial genome of higher plants is unusually dynamic, with recombination and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) activities producing variability in size and organization. Plant mitochondrial DNA also generally displays much l...
