Root Primordium Defective 1 Encodes an Essential PORR Protein Required for the Splicing of Mitochondria-Encoded Group II Introns and for Respiratory Complex I Biogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Cellular respiration involves complex organellar metabolic activities that are pivotal for plant growth and development. Mitochondria contain their own genetic system (mitogenome, mtDNA), which encodes key elements of the respiratory machinery. Plant mtDNAs are notably larger than their counterparts in Animalia, with complex genome organization and gene expression characteristics. The maturation of the plant...
