W. Howad et F. Kempken, SEQUENCE-ANALYSIS AND TRANSCRIPT PROCESSING OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL NAD3-RPS12 GENES FROM SORGHUM-BICOLOR, PLANT SCI, 129(1), 1997, pp. 65-68
The nad3-rps12 genes from Sorghum bicolor were cloned and sequenced. T
he DNA sequence is very similar to known sequences from wheat or maize
. Both genes are cotranscribed. A total of 17 RNA editing sites in nad
3 and six editing sites in rps12 were detected. Cotranscripts exhibit
a low degree of RNA editing, which was the same in four different fert
ile and cytoplasmic male sterile lines. In contrast to atp6 RNA editin
g no cell-type specific loss of RNA editing was observed. (C) 1997 Els
