Abstract excerpt
Higher plant mitochondria mainly contain group II introns presenting a secondary structure with six helical domains linked to a central hub. Experimental evidence of functional elements in higher plant mitochondria introns is limited since they are unable to undergo self-splicing and the definition of functional domains is based on data obtained from yeast autocatalytic introns. Here we study the role of putative...
