About the RNA Editing in Plants Session
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification process that alters nucleotide sequences in RNA, affecting protein function and enabling plants to adapt to environmental challenges. In plants, RNA editing mainly occurs in the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes, where it plays a role in regulating photosynthesis and energy production. RNA editing allows plants to fine-tune gene expression in response to stressors like extreme temperatures and pathogen attack. Advances in RNA editing research open new avenues for crop improvement, as scientists can manipulate RNA sequences to optimize growth, improve stress resistance, and increase nutritional quality, ultimately supporting sustainable agriculture.
