High impact information on matK

However, we describe the first large-scale supernetwork for the Brassiccaeae built from gene trees for 5 loci (adh, chs, matK, trnL-F, and ITS) and report multiple independent origins for trnF pseudogenes in crucifers [1].
Two editing events in the genes matK and ndhB seem to have evolved late during the evolution of flowering plants [2].
These nuclear maturase-like proteins may be imported into organelles to function in group II intron splicing and/or they may have assumed other cellular functions [3].
