摘要
In chloroplasts and mitochondria of most land plants, RNA editing modifies specific nucleotides. The individual nucleotides are identified in the complex RNA molecule population of either organelle by their sequence context. The biochemical reaction is in effect a C-to-U deamination in flowering plants, in addition a U-to-C amination reaction occurs in ferns and hornworts.
