Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins constitute one of the largest protein families in land
plants, with more than 400 members in most species. Over the past decade, much has been …

Plant organellar RNA metabolism is run by a multitude of nucleus-encoded RNA-binding
proteins (RBPs) that control RNA stability, processing, and degradation. In chloroplasts and …

Chloroplast translation is essential for cellular viability and plant development. Its positioning
at the intersection of organellar RNA and protein metabolism makes it a unique point for the …

The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) is a helical repeat motif found in an exceptionally large
family of RNA–binding proteins that functions in mitochondrial and chloroplast gene …

Engineering the plastid genome based on homologous recombination is well developed in
a few model species. Homologous recombination is also the rule in mitochondria, but …

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins represent a large family of sequence-specific RNA-
binding proteins that are involved in multiple aspects of RNA metabolism. PPR proteins …

Chloroplasts evolved from an ancient cyanobacterial endosymbiont more than 1.5 billion
years ago. During subsequent coevolution with the nuclear genome, the chloroplast …

The chloroplast genome encodes proteins required for photosynthesis, gene expression,
and other essential organellar functions. Derived from a cyanobacterial ancestor, the …

The cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) phenotype in plants can be reversed by the action of
nuclear-encoded fertility restorer (Rf) genes. The molecular mechanism involved in Rf gene …

Chloroplasts are plant organelles that carry out photosynthesis, produce various
metabolites, and sense changes in the external environment. Given their endosymbiotic …
