Intracellular Gene Transfer in Action: Dual Transcription and Multiple Silencings of Nuclear and Mitochondrial cox2 Genes in Legumes

The respiratory gene cox2, normally present in the mitochondrion, was previously shown to have been functionally transferred to the nucleus during flowering plant evolution, possibly during the diversification of legumes. To search for novel intermediate stages in the process of intracellular gene t...
