The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Plant Mitochondrial Genome Evolution and Cytoplasmic Male Sterility (2017, background): “Most gene “losses” are not complete removals but rather reflect functional transfer to the nuclear genome, where they encode products that return to the mitochondria (Palmer et al., 2000; Adams and Palmer, 2003).”
Horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotic evolution (2008, background): “The subsequent tempo of EGT has been highly punctuated, with bursts of transfer interspersed with, or terminating in, long periods of stasi”
A Two-Locus Global DNA Barcode for Land Plants: The Coding rbcL Gene Complements the Non-Coding trnH-psbA Spacer Region (2007, background): “However, despite the promise of these regions as putative single-locus barcodes the overall lower levels of mutation rates in plants compared to animals [11] may necessitate a multi-locus barcode to maximally discriminate among plant species [7–8].”
