Mitochondrial DNA chloroplast DNA group I and group II introns intergenic regions pseudogenes

Abstract

Many loci in the organelle genomes of chloroplasts and mitochondria have been investigated to deduce the phylogeny of land plant clades. In addition to coding regions, several non-coding regions in mitochondrial and chloroplast DNAs have successfully been used for this purpose. Focusing on the most recent developments, this paper attempts to summarize how research on the molecular evolution of group I and group II intron sequences, intergenic regions and pseudogenes has contributed to our modern understanding of bryophyte phylogeny.
