Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins constitute one of the largest protein families in land
plants, with more than 400 members in most species. Over the past decade, much has been …

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are RNA-binding proteins that are particularly
prevalent in terrestrial plants. Although the PPR protein family was only recognized eight …

Seed germination is crucial for the life cycle of plants and maximum crop production. This
critical developmental step is regulated by diverse endogenous [hormones, reactive oxygen …

The chloroplast genome encodes proteins required for photosynthesis, gene expression,
and other essential organellar functions. Derived from a cyanobacterial ancestor, the …

Members of the pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein family are sequence-specific RNA-
binding proteins that play crucial roles in organelle RNA metabolism. Each PPR protein …

The pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) is a degenerate 35‐amino‐acid structural motif
identified from analysis of the sequenced genome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana …

Transcripts of plant organelle genes are modified by cytidine-to-uridine (C-to-U) RNA
editing, often changing the encoded amino acid predicted from the DNA sequence …

Compared with small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) in other organisms, those in plants are
the most abundant and diverse. However, the molecular mechanisms by which sHSPs are …

The plastid transcription machinery can be biochemically purified at different organisational
levels as soluble RNA polymerase, transcriptionally active chromosome, or nucleoid. Recent …

In flowering plants, mitochondrial and chloroplast mRNAs are edited by C-to-U base
modification. In plant organelles, RNA editing appears to be generally a correcting …
