Background: Unlike Transposable Elements (TEs) and gene/genome duplication, the role of the so-called nuclear plastid DNA sequences (NUPTs) in shaping the evolution of genome architecture and function remains poorly studied. We investigate here the functional and evolutionary fate of NUPTs in the orphan crop Moringa oleifera (moringa), featured by the highest fraction of plastid DNA found so far in any plant genome, focusing on (i) any potential biases in their distribution in relation to specific nuclear genomic features, (ii) their contribution to the emergence of new genes and gene regions, and (iii) their impact on the expression of target nuclear genes. Results: In agreement with their potential mutagenic effect, NUPTs are underrepresented among structural genes, although their overall transcription levels and broadness were only lower when involved exonic regions; the occurrence of plastid DNA generally did not result in a broader expression, except among those affected in introns by older NUPTs. In contrast, we found a strong enrichment of NUPTs among specific superfamilies of retrotransposons and several classes of RNA genes, including those participating in the protein biosynthetic machinery (i.e., rRNA and tRNA genes) and a specific class of regulatory RNAs. A significant fraction of NUPT RNA genes was found to be functionally expressed, thus potentially contributing to the nuclear pool. Conclusions: Our results complete our view of the molecular factors driving the evolution of nuclear genome architecture and function, and support plastid DNA in moringa as a major source of (i) genome complexity and (ii) the nuclear pool of RNA genes.
