In 1989, three laboratories (in Canada, France and Germany) independently and simultaneously reported the discovery of C-to-U RNA editing in plant mitochondria (1-3). To mark the 20th anniversary of this finding, the leaders of the three research teams have written personal essays describing the eve

## Abstract A single C/T difference between gene and cDNA within the 5β²βuntranslated region of the wheat mtDNAβencoded __cox2__ (cytochrome oxidase subunit 2) sequence catalyzed the discovery of CβtoβU RNA editing in plant mitochondria by a group at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia [Cov
A 712-base portion of the mitochondrial gene coxI and the corresponding portion of the coxI transcript were amplified by PCR and by RT-PCR, respectively, from the gymnosperm western red cedar. Sequence comparison of amplified coxI DNA and mRNA revealed 26 C-to-U differences that are best explained b
I probably have a personal prejudice, but I feel that transfer RNA is perhaps the ultimate achievement of molecular evolution. Its structure, as you all know, is the most varied of any macromolecule. Its synthesis
