Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast RNA processing and degradation are orchestrated by nucleus-encoded factors. Although several transcript-specific factors have been identified, those involved in global RNA metabolism have mostly remained elusive. Using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we have identified three pleiotropic nuclear mutations, mcd3, mcd4 and mcd5, which cause quantitative variation between polycistronic transcripts and...
