Gene translocations from the organelles to the nucleus are postulated by the endosymbiont hypothesis. We here report evidence for sequence insertions in the nuclear genomes of plants that are derived from noncoding regions of the mitochondrial genome. Fragments of mitochondrial group II introns are
The mitochondrial genome size of 26 different Schizosaccharomyces pombe strains varies between 17.6 and 24.6 kilobase pairs due to the presence or absence of introns. One of these is the group II intron in the gene encoding apocytochrome b (cob: intron cobI1). Partial DNA sequences of continuous cob
