Due to their sessile lifestyle, plants can be exposed to several kinds of stresses that will
increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide …

Species of the genus Nicotiana (Solanaceae), commonly referred to as tobacco plants, are
often cultivated as non-food crops and garden ornamentals. In addition to the worldwide …

Nicotiana L. is a genus rich in polyploidy, which represents an ideal natural system for

There is evidence that RNA editing is related to plant cellular stress as well as electron
transport organelles, such as mitochondria. The mitochondrial atp1 gene encodes the alpha …

Background Nad dehydrogenase complex in mtDNA has a significant role in cellular
respiration. One of the largest subunits in the complex is subunit 5 (Nad5). Methods and …

Background Several bioinformatics tools have been designed for assembly and annotation

Abstract Background C-to-U RNA editing in mitochondria and chloroplasts and the nuclear-
encoded, RNA-binding PPR proteins acting as editing factors present a wide field of co …

In plants, RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification of transcripts and commonly
occurs in plastids and mitochondria. In the case of flowering plants, not only PPR but also …

Mesua ferrea is an important source of timber, oil and herbal medicines. In the present
investigation, we assembled the whole chloroplast genome of M. ferrea of size 161.4 kb. The …
