The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

In higher plants, many mitochondrial genes contain group II‐type introns that are removed
from RNA s by splicing to produce mature transcripts that are then translated into functional …

Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles that produce much of the energy required for
cellular metabolism. As descendants of a bacterial symbiont, most mitochondria harbor their …

Mitochondrial biogenesis relies on nuclearly encoded factors, which regulate the expression
of the organellar‐encoded genes. Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins constitute a …

RNA expression in plant mitochondria implies a large number of post-transcriptional events
in which transcript processing and stabilization are essential. In this study, we analyzed the …

Group II introns are common features of most angiosperm mitochondrial genomes. Intron
splicing is thus essential for the expression of mitochondrial genes and is facilitated by …

Nucleus-encoded circular RNAs (ncircRNAs) have been widely detected in eukaryotes, and
most circRNA identification algorithms are designed to identify them. However, using these …

Key message SLO4 is a mitochondrial PPR protein that is involved in editing nad4, possibly
required for the efficient splicing of nad2 intron1. Abstract Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) …

Intron splicing is an essential event in post-transcriptional RNA processing in plant
mitochondria, which requires the participation of diverse nuclear-encoded splicing factors …

Group‐II introns are self‐splicing mobile genetic elements consisting of catalytic intron‐RNA
and its related intron‐encoded splicing maturase protein cofactor. Group‐II sequences are …
