Abstract excerpt
In plant mitochondria and plastids, RNA editing alters about 400 and about 35 C nucleotides into Us, respectively. Four of these RNA editing events in plant mitochondria specifically require the PPR protein MEF7, characterized by E and DYW extension domains. The gene for MEF7 was identified by genomic mapping of the locus mutated in plants from EMS treated seeds. The SNaPshot screen of the mutant plant population...
