Abstract excerpt
More than 400 pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) genes have been found in higher plants, but most of them have not been functionally analyzed and their origins are still obscure. In this study, we performed phylogenetic genomewide comparisons of the PPR gene family in indica and japonica rice to explore the expansion mechanisms of these genes in higher plants. The functions of PPR genes in plant CMS/Rf systems are...
