Group II introns are mobile ribozymes that self-splice from precursor RNAs to yield excised
intron lariat RNAs, which then invade new genomic DNA sites by reverse splicing. The …

Mitochondria are essential for the eukaryotic cell and are derived from the endosymbiosis of
an α-proteobacterial ancestor. Compared to other eukaryotes, RNA metabolism in plant …

Present in the genomes of bacteria and eukaryotic organelles, group II introns are an
ancient class of ribozymes and retroelements that are believed to have been the ancestors …

Germination represents a rapid transition from dormancy to a high level of metabolic activity.
In-depth transcriptomic profiling at 10 time points in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

Group II introns are remarkable mobile retroelements that use the combined activities of an
autocatalytic RNA and an intron‐encoded reverse transcriptase (RT) to propagate efficiently …

Cellular respiration involves complex organellar metabolic activities that are pivotal for plant
growth and development. Mitochondria contain their own genetic system (mitogenome …

To study the molecular mechanism of abscisic acid (ABA) regulation of root development,
we screened the root growth of Arabidopsis mutants for sensitivity to ABA. ABA overly …

ABSTRACT RNA helicases participate in nearly all aspects of RNA metabolism by
rearranging RNAs or RNA–protein complexes in an adenosine triphosphate‐dependent …

Group II introns are large catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) which are found in bacteria and
organellar genomes of several lower eukaryotes, but are particularly prevalent within the …

Plant organelles arose from two independent endosymbiosis events. Throughout
evolutionary history, tight control of chloroplasts and mitochondria has been gained by the …
