Abstract excerpt
In mitochondria of higher plants, the majority of 5' termini of mature mRNAs are generated posttranscriptionally. To gain insight into this process, we analyzed a natural 5' end polymorphism in the species Arabidopsis thaliana. This genetic approach identified the nuclear gene At1g62670, encoding a pentatricopeptide repeat protein. The functional importance of this mitochondrial restorer of fertility-like...
