The central dogma in biology defines the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to
protein. Accordingly, RNA molecules generally accurately follow the sequences of the genes …

Communication between cellular compartments is vital for development and environmental
adaptation. Signals emanating from organelles, so-called retrograde signals, coordinate …

RNA editing describes targeted sequence alterations in RNAs so that the transcript
sequences differ from their DNA template. Since the original discovery of RNA editing in …

Plastid genes are expressed at high levels in photosynthetically active chloroplasts but are
generally believed to be drastically downregulated in nongreen plastids. The genome-wide …

RNA editing converts cytidines to uridines in plant organellar transcripts. Editing typically
restores codons for conserved amino acids. During evolution, specific C-to-U editing sites …

We sequenced transcripts from all putative genes for proteins, rRNAs, and a selection of
gene-encoding tRNAs in the chloroplast genome of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris. We …

Plastids (chloroplasts) harbor a small gene‐dense genome that is amenable to genetic
manipulation by transformation. During 1 billion years of evolution from the cyanobacterial …

RNA editing alters the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule so that it deviates from the
sequence of its DNA template. Different RNA-editing systems are found in the major …

The analysis of the mitochondrial DNA of Isoetes engelmannii as a first representative of the
lycophytes recently revealed very small introns and indications for extremely frequent RNA …

Chloroplast C-to-U RNA editing is an essential post-transcriptional process. Here we
analyzed RNA editing in Arabidopsis thaliana using strand-specific deep sequencing …
