Great Burnet Mitochondrial Genome Assembled to Trace Rosaceae Evolution
Original: Great Burnet Mitochondrial Genome Assembled to Reveal Rosaceae Evolution
Researchers have assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of great burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis), a plant in the rose family. The sequence is being used to examine evolutionary relationships within Rosaceae, a large family that includes apples, cherries, roses and almonds. Mitochondrial genomes are valuable for tracing plant lineages because they change slowly and can clarify how species diverged over time.
