The Mitochondrial Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein PPR18 Is Required for the <i>cis</i>-Splicing of <i>nad4</i> Intron 1 and Essential to Seed Development in Maize

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein comprises a large family, participating in various aspects of organellar RNA metabolism in land plants. There are approximately 600 PPR proteins in maize, but the functions of many PPR proteins remain unknown. In this study, we defined the function of PPR18 in...
