Abstract excerpt
In maize plastids, transcripts are known to be modified at 27 C-to-U RNA editing sites, affecting the expression-of 15 different genes. The relative contribution of editing efficiency versus transcript abundance in regulation of chloroplast gene expression has previously been analyzed for only a few genes. We undertook a comprehensive analysis of the editing efficiency of each of the 27 maize editing sites in 10...
