Abstract excerpt
RNA editing changes the sequence of many transcripts in plant organelles, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms determining the specificity of the process. In this study, we have characterized CLB19 (also known as PDE247), a gene that is required for editing of two distinct chloroplast transcripts, rpoA and clpP. Loss-of-function clb19 mutants present a yellow phenotype with impaired chloroplast...
