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 …

Bacterial cytidine deaminase fused to the DNA binding domains of transcription activator-
like effector nucleases was recently reported to transiently substitute a targeted C to a T in …

The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins form one of the largest protein families in land
plants. They are characterised by tandem 30–40 amino acid motifs that form an extended …

Hybrid wheat varieties give higher yields than conventional lines but are difficult to produce
due to a lack of effective control of male fertility in breeding lines. One promising system …

The genomes in the two energy-converting organelles of plant cells, chloroplasts and
mitochondria, contain numerous 'errors' that are corrected at the level of RNA transcript …

The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) is a degenerate 35‐amino‐acid structural motif
identified from analysis of the sequenced genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana …

Transcripts of plant organelle genes are modified by cytidine-to-uridine (C-to-U) RNA
editing, often changing the encoded amino acid predicted from the DNA sequence …

Mitochondria are essential for the eukaryotic cell and are derived from the endosymbiosis of
an α-proteobacterial ancestor. Compared to other eukaryotes, RNA metabolism in plant …

The plastid transcription machinery can be biochemically purified at different organisational
levels as soluble RNA polymerase, transcriptionally active chromosome, or nucleoid. Recent …
