Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast ribosomal RNA (Ch-rRNA) methylation is critical for plant development and response to low temperatures. Several Ch-rRNA methyltransferases and their catalytic modes, as well as biological relevance, have been reported in model plant species. However, Ch-rRNA methyltransferases and their functional significance remain poorly characterized in crops, including leafy vegetables such as Chinese cabbage. In...
