Abstract excerpt
The process of 5' and 3' splice site definition in plant pre-mRNA splicing differs from that in mammals and yeast. In mammals, splice sites are chosen by their complementarity to U1 snRNA surrounding the /GU at the 5' splice site and by the strength of the pyrimidine tract preceding the AG/ at th...
