Characterisation of transcript initiation sites in ribosome-deficient barley plastids.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Feb 1998

Hübschmann T, Börner T

Abstract excerpt

Transcription of plastid genes in higher plants is driven by two RNA polymerases. One is encoded in the chloroplast, the other is encoded in the nucleus. RNA synthesis in ribosome-deficient plastids is performed exclusively by the nuclear-encoded enzyme. In vitro capping was used to identify the...
