The characteristic features of higher plant mitochondrial genomes: size, structure, recombination activity and evolutionary dynamics, are reviewed with the emphasis on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Phaseolus vulgaris. Among all examined eukaryotic organisms, higher plants were found to contain the largest and most complex mitochondrial genomes. The plant mtDNA structure in vivo and mechanisms of evolution are controversial. We present the currently accepted models and how these models correspond to mitochondrial genomes of several common bean lines.
大小、结构、重组活性和进化动态，重点关注菜豆的线粒体DNA（mtDNA）。在所有已研究的真核生物中，高等植物的线粒体基因组最大且最为复杂。植物线粒体DNA在体内的结构及其进化机制仍存在争议。我们介绍了目前被广泛接受的模型，以及这些模型如何与几种菜豆品系的线粒体基因组相对应。
