Abstract excerpt
A deletion eliminating part of a transcribed region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been found in the maize nonchromosomal stripe 3 (NCS3) mutant. This results in the specific loss of a set of three mitochondrial RNAs consisting, in normal plants, of a 4.9 kb transcript, its 1.8 kb intron and the resulting processed mRNA of approximately 2.9 kb. In the NCS3 mitochondrial genome the DNA encoding the putative...
