Pan-mitogenome in Dipterocarpoideae: mitochondrial plastid DNAs and repeats shape the dynamic evolution of mitogenomes.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPlant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), essential for cellular energy production and development, are characterized by rapid structural variations and highly diverse non-coding sequences. However, the underlying causes of these variations remain controversial. Dipterocarpaceae, a tropical tree family of ~ 16 genera and 500-700 species, includes many ecologically and economically important taxa. Its largest lineage, Dipterocarpoideae (13 genera, 470-650 species), with a well-resolved evolutionary history, serves as an ideal model for investigating mitogenome evolution.
resultsHere, we assembled 13 new mitogenomes from the five most species-rich Dipterocarpoideae genera and conducted comprehensive pan-mitogenome analyses. These mitogenomes ranged from 378.3 to 442.8 kb in size and shared 64 conserved core fragments encoding 30 protein-coding genes (PCGs), three unique rRNA genes, and nine unique tRNA genes. Phylogenetic analyses based on organellar and nuclear genomes consistently recovered three major clades: Vatica, Dipterocarpus, and a clade comprising Shorea, Hopea, and Parashorea. The Vatica mitogenomes contained fewer mitochondrial plastid DNAs (MTPTs) and repeats, resulting in a simpler mitogenome structure. In contrast, the other clades contain more MTPTs and repeats, leading to a more complex mitogenome. This pattern suggests that MTPTs and repeats may jointly contribute to increased mitogenome complexity. Moreover, the synonymous substitution rate in coding regions was comparable to that in non-coding regions, while the non-synonymous substitution rate was lower, indicating similar mutation inputs but different selective pressures.
conclusionThese findings provide new insights into the structural complexity and evolutionary dynamics of plant mitogenomes.
