Abstract excerpt
Pentatricopepetide repeat (PPR) proteins are a large family of RNA-binding proteins involved in RNA metabolism in plant organelles. Although many PPR proteins have been functionally studied, few of them are identified with a function in mitochondrial RNA stability. By using a reverse genetic approach, we characterized the role of the mitochondrion-targeted PPR78 protein in nad5 mature mRNA stability and maize...
