Background Mitochondria play essential roles in the life and death of almost all eukaryotic
cells, ranging from single-celled to multi-cellular organisms that display tissue and …

The biogenesis and functionality of mitochondria and chloroplasts depend on the constant
turnover of their proteins. The majority of mitochondrial and chloroplastic proteins are …

Mitochondria occupy a central role in the eukaryotic cell. In addition to being major sources
of cellular energy, mitochondria are also involved in a diverse range of functions including …

Infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) profoundly affects cellular metabolism. Like
in tumor cells, HCMV infection increases glycolysis, and glucose carbon is shifted from the …

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins play crucial roles in intron splicing, which is
important for RNA maturation. Identification of novel PPR protein with the function of intron …

Camellia gigantocarpa is one of the oil-tea trees whose seeds can be used to extract high-
quality vegetable oil. To date, there are no data on the mitochondrial genome of the oil-tea …

The majority of the mitochondrial proteome, required to fulfil its diverse range of functions, is
cytosolically synthesised and translocated via specialised machinery. The dedicated …

RNA editing in plants is an essential post‐transcriptional process that modifies the genetic
information encoded in organelle genomes. Forward and reverse genetics approaches have …

The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains two genes with homology to the mitochondrial
protein LETM1 (leucine zipper-EF-hand-containing transmembrane protein). Inactivation of …

Hardly anything is known about translational control of plant mitochondrial gene expression.
Here, we provide evidence for differential translation of mitochondrial transcripts in …
