  • Descrição: As the detailed molecular biology of organelle genomes has unfolded, there has been a general acceptance of the view that plastids and mitochondria are of endosymbiotic, eubacterial origin. Plastid genes are strikingly similar to their eubacterial (particularly cyanobacterial) counterparts in sequence, organization, and mode of expression, and such features strongly support the hypothesis that the plastid and its genome were derived in evolution from a blue-green alga-like endosymbiont. Mitochondria, on the other hand, are problematic: mitochondrial genes are organized and expressed in remarkably diverse ways in the different major groups of eukaryotes, and in no case are these features particularly characteristic of either bacterial or nuclear genomes. There is, however, clear evidence derived from gene sequence supporting the eubacterial ancestry of mitochondria, and some of the most compelling data have come from analyses of mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Plant mitochondrial rRNA genes diverge in sequence at a particularly slow rate, and these genes have proven to be especially supportive of the endosymbiont hypothesis, pointing to an origin of mitochondria from within the α subdivision of the purple bacteria. Ribosomal RNA sequences provide a basis for the construction of global phylogenetic trees that probe the evolutionary history of organelles, and that address the question of whether mitochondria and plastids are monophyletic or polyphyletic in origin. Such studies raise the possibility that the rRNA genes of plant mitochondria originated separately from the mitochondrial rRNA genes of other eukaryotes.
