Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation The plastome of Nowellia curvifolia is the second smallest among photosynthetic liverworts.
- Observation The plastome of Nowellia curvifolia has the shortest known inverted repeats.
- Observation The genome of Nowellia curvifolia is the smallest liverwort genome with a complete gene set.
- Observation The smaller liverwort genomes of Aneura mirabilis and Cololejeunea lanciloba miss six and four protein-coding genes.
- Mechanism Reduction of plastome size in leafy liverworts seems to be mainly due to a deletion between psbA and psbD genes.
- Observation Intraspecific comparison revealed single SNPs difference among European individuals.
- Observation A low number of 35 mutations differentiate European and North American specimens.
- Observation Asian specimen showed 1335 SNPs in plastid protein-coding genes.
- Observation Mitogenomes from European specimens had gene content and structure identical to previously published mitogenomes.
- Observation RNA-seq based editing analysis revealed 17 edited sites in the plastome.
- Observation RNA-seq based editing analysis revealed 127 edited sites in the mitogenome.
- Observation A non-canonical editing event was found in the plastid chiL gene.
- Observation U to C RNA editing is reported for the first time in a liverwort plastome.
