Plant molecular biology - 1 Feb 1998

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 transcriptional start sites of the genes clpP and rpl23 in ribosome-free plastids of the barley mutant albostrians. No...
