Abstract excerpt
To elucidate mechanisms that regulate chloroplast translation in land plants, we sought nuclear mutations in maize that disrupt the translation of subsets of chloroplast mRNAs. Evidence is presented for a nuclear gene whose function is required for the translation of the chloroplast atpB/E mRNA. A mutation in atp1 results in a failure to accumulate the chloroplast ATP synthase complex due to reduced synthesis of...
