Abstract excerpt
Group II introns in plant organelles have lost splicing autonomy and require the assistance of nuclear-encoded trans-factors whose roles remain to be elucidated. These factors can be mono- or poly-specific with respect to the number of introns whose splicing they facilitate. Poly-acting splicing factors are often essential and their genetic identification may benefit from the use of conditional mutations....
