Abstract excerpt
Although the multiple organellar RNA editing factors (MORFs) in the plastids of Arabidopsis thaliana have been extensively studied, molecular details underlying how MORFs affect plant development in other species, particularly in rice, remain largely unknown. Here we describe the characterization of wsp1, a rice mutant with white-stripe leaves and panicles. Notably, wsp1 exhibited nearly white immature...
