Abstract
AbstractPlant mitochondrial genomes can be complex owing to highly recombinant structures, lack of gene syntenies, heavy RNA editing and invasion of chloroplast, nuclear or even foreign DNA by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Leptosporangiate ferns remained the last major plant clade without an assembled mitogenome, likely owing to a demanding combination of the above. We here present both organelle genomes now for Haplopteris ensiformis. More than 1,400 events of C-to-U RNA editing and over 500 events of reverse U-to-C edits affect its organelle transcriptomes. The Haplopteris mtDNA is gene-rich, lacking only the ccm gene suite present in ancestral land plant mitogenomes, but is highly unorthodox, indicating extraordinary recombinogenic activity. Although eleven group II introns known in disrupted trans-splicing states in seed plants exist in conventional cis-arrangements, a particularly complex structure is found for the mitochondrial rrnL gene, which is split into two parts needing reassembly on RNA level by a trans-splicing group I intron. Aside from ca. 80 chloroplast DNA inserts that complicated the mitogenome assembly, the Haplopteris mtDNA features as an idiosyncrasy 30 variably degenerated protein coding regions from Rickettiales bacteria indicative of heavy bacterial HGT on top of tRNA genes of chlamydial origin.
