Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plant genetic engineering, in particular to a gene ZmSmk3 encoding a corn mTERF protein and a cloning method and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] Mitochondria are important energy conversion stations, which can efficiently convert the energy stored in organic matter into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the direct energy source of cell life activities, and provide energy sources for life activities (Mackenzie and McIntosh, 1999; Gualberto et al., 2014). It has autonomous DNA replication, transcription and protein synthesis systems and is a semi-autonomous organelle. Among them, most mitochondrial proteins are encoded by the nucleus and are regulated by the nucleus.
[0003] Mitochondrial gene expression is a complex biological process, including RNA (ribonucleic acid) transcription, RNA editing, intron splicing, RNA translation, maturation, and degradation (Hammani and Giegé, 2014). The m...
