Abstract excerpt
RNA editing in mitochondria and chloroplasts of land plants alters transcript sequences by site-specific conversions of cytidines into uridines. RNA editing frequencies vary extremely between land plant clades, ranging from zero in some liverworts to more than 2,000 sites in lycophytes. Unique pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins with variable domain extension (E/E+/DYW) have recently been identified as...
