Abstract excerpt
The 3' regions of several group II introns within the mitochondrial genes nad1 and nad7 show unexpected sequence divergence among flowering plants, and the core domains 5 and 6 are predicted to have weaker helical structure than those in self-splicing group II introns. To assess whether RNA editing improves helical stability by the conversion of A-C mispairs to A-U pairs, we sequenced RT-PCR amplification...
