Genetic analyses from ancient DNA. (2004, background): “DNA fragments derived from genomes of organelles such as the mitochondria (9) are often present in the nuclear genome (148).”
Chloroplast genomes: diversity, evolution, and applications in genetic engineering (2016, background): “Mitochondria are believed to have evolved from a single endosymbiotic event by the uptake of a proteobacterium, whereas chloroplasts evolved from endosymbiosis of a cyanobacterium, after which there was a massive transfer of genes from the chloroplast to the nucleus [95].”
Plastid genome sequencing, comparative genomics, and phylogenomics: Current status and prospects (2010, background): “2 Gene capacity During the transition from endosymbiont to organelle, most of the cyanobacterial genes have been lost or transferred to the host nuclear genome (Martin et al., 1998; Timmis et al., 2004).”
Hydrogenosomes and Mitosomes: Conservation and Evolution of Functions (2009, background): “A consequence of the integration of a bacterial endosymbiont into the host was the transfer of most of its genome to the hosts’ nucleus (Timmis et al. 2004).”
Draft genome sequence of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) provides a resource for trait improvement (2013, neutral): “Using this analysis, proteins predicted for chickpea were most similar to those from M. truncatula (89.7% of predicted chickpea proteins were similar to M. truncatula proteins) and least similar to those from A. thaliana (79.2% had similarity with A. thaliana proteins) ( Supplementary Table 12 ).”

Draft genome sequence of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan), an orphan legume crop of resource-poor farmers (2011, background): “This observation is also not unexpected, as long stretches of chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA have been shown to be transferred into nuclear chromosomes of several plant and animal species during evolutio”
Genomic architectural variation of plant mitochondria—A review of multichromosomal structuring (2020, background): “The content of functional protein‐coding genes in mitochondria across eukaryotic lineages can vary from 3 to as many as 66 (Sloan et al., 2018a), which is still far fewer a number than in extant free‐living α‐proteobacteria genomes (Timmis et al., 2004; Embley & Martin, 2006).”
