Two Pentatricopeptide Repeat Proteins Are Required for the Splicing of nad5 Introns in Maize

Mitochondrial genes in flowering plants contain predominantly group II introns that require precise splicing before translation into functional proteins. Splicing of these introns is facilitated by various nucleus-encoded splicing factors. Due to lethality of mutants, functions of many splicing fact...
