RNA editing has been documented in mitochondria of higher plants, notably dicots and monocots. To determine the distribution of mitochondrial RNA editing in the plant kingdom, we have now undertaken a survey of evolutionarily distant plants. RNA editing occurs in all major groups of land plants except the Bryophyta, suggesting that this process is an ancient trait that was established before the radiation of kormophyte plants. No editing is observed in representatives of the green algae, suggesting that editing arose in early land plants after the split of the Bryophyta or has been lost selectively in both algae and mosses. In ferns several U -* C changes are observed, one of which eliminates a genomically encoded UAA termination codon and creates a functional open reading frame.RNA editing has been observed in mitochondria and chloroplasts of angiosperm plants belonging to the Dicotyledonae and Monocotyledonae (1-3). In both organelles specific cytidines of the primary transcripts are altered to uridines in the mature mRNAs. Only a few instances of editing have been found in chloroplasts (4-6), whereas numerous editing events have been documented in mitochondria of higher plants for almost all mRNAs investigated (7-11). In the more thoroughly investigated higher plant species, all of the open reading frames encoding conserved functional polypeptides appear to be edited to some extent and the total number of editing sites documented amounts to 294 in wheat (11) and to >400 in Oenothera (10). The observed effect ofthis extensive editing on the encoded polypeptide sequences suggests that many of the higher plant mitochondrial genes would not encode functionally competent products without appropriate "correction" by RNA editing.Mitochondrial RNA editing has been reported in a number of angiosperm species, including the monocots wheat and maize and the dicots Oenothera, Sorghum, Petunia, Daucus, and Arabidopsis (7-11). The observation of analogous RNA editing in both monocots and dicots suggests that the origin of this process predates the divergence of the two lineages and is generally present in angiosperms. Recently, RNA editing has also been described in the gymnosperm Thuja (12). However, none of the plant species presumed to be closer to the evolutionary origin of flowering plants has been investigated. The only mitochondrial sequence data available allowing any inference about the need of RNA editing in nonflowering plants are from two bryophytes.Analysis of protein sequences deduced from the complete genomic nucleotide sequence of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha (13) and comparison of several cDNA and genomic DNA sequences (14) did not show any evidence of RNA editing. Genomic sequence analysis of a mitochondrial gene in the moss Physcomitrella patens (15) allows a similar deduction, suggesting that RNA editing might not occur in mitochondria of the two bryophytes.The publication costs of this article were defrayed in part by page charge payment.

“…Nonvascular plants, insofar as represented by the fully sequenced mitochondrial genome of Marchantia, are also static. Marchantia has functionally lost and transferred to the nucleus only one of the protein genes inferred to be present in the common ancestor of land plants, and this apparently only recently, leaving a pseudogene copy in the mitochondrion (8,45). The contrast is striking between this prolonged stasis throughout one branch of land plant͞green algal evolution, a stasis that continues in many lineages of angiosperms, and the sudden and rapid loss of many or even all of the 14 ribosomal protein genes and two sdh genes in a number of recent lineages.…”

To study the tempo and pattern of mitochondrial gene loss in plants, DNAs from 280 genera of flowering plants were surveyed for the presence or absence of 40 mitochondrial protein genes by Southern blot hybridization. All 14 ribosomal protein genes and both sdh genes have been lost from the mitochondrial genome many times (6 to 42) during angiosperm evolution, whereas only two losses were detected among the other 24 genes. The gene losses have a very patchy phylogenetic distribution, with periods of stasis followed by bursts of loss in certain lineages. Most of the oldest groups of angiosperms are still mired in a prolonged stasis in mitochondrial gene content, containing nearly the same set of genes as their algal ancestors more than a billion years ago. In sharp contrast, other plants have rapidly lost many or all of their 16 mitochondrial ribosomal protein and sdh genes, thereby converging on a reduced gene content more like that of an animal or fungus than a typical plant. In these and many lineages with more modest numbers of losses, the rate of ribosomal protein and sdh gene loss exceeds, sometimes greatly, the rate of mitochondrial synonymous substitutions. Most of these mitochondrial gene losses are probably the consequence of gene transfer to the nucleus; thus, rates of functional gene transfer also may vary dramatically in angiosperms.

Genetic diversity of nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in Pinus parviflora Sieb. & Zucc. (Pinaceae) populations

Genetic diversities of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in Pinus parviflora were studied in 16 populations, which were distributed across most of the species' range in Japan. Six mitochondrial DNA haplotypes were identified among the 16 populations. The intrapopulation diversity of allozymes was similar to that of other endemic woody species (H S ¼ 0.259). Although P. parviflora is distributed in discrete populations, differentiation between these was very low (G ST ¼ 0.044). In addition, the extent of genetic differentiation between two varieties (var. pentaphylla and var. parviflora) was extremely low (G VT ¼ 0.001). Intrapopulation diversity of mitochondrial DNA was also very low (H S ¼ 0.098), but population differentiation was high (G ST ¼ 0.863). Moreover, the distribution of haplotypes reflected the taxonomic differences between P. parviflora var. pentaphylla and var. parviflora. The populations of var. pentaphylla and var. parviflora contained different haplotypes. Differing modes of inheritance may account for the differences in nuclear and mitochondrial genetic diversity.
