Abstract excerpt
Plastid ribosomal proteins (PRPs) are core components of the plastid translational machinery, playing indispensable roles in chloroplast biogenesis and plant growth. While the functions of some PRPs in rice have been characterized, the biological role of the plastid 50 S ribosomal protein L5 (PRPL5) remains unclear. Here, we characterize the function of Albino Lethal Seedling 2 (ALS2), encoding the PRPL5, in...
