Bacterial group II introns: not just splicing [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2007 Group II introns are both catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) and mobile retroelements that were discovered almost 14 years ago. It has been suggested that eukaryotic mRNA introns might have originated from the group II introns present in the alphaproteobacterial progenitor of the mitochondria.

DNA-based S-genotyping of Japanese plum and pluot cultivars to clarify incompatibility relationships [PDF]
, 2007 Diploid japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cultivars are commonly self-incompatible. To date, 14 incompatibility alleles (S-alleles) have been identified and labeled with alphabetical (S-a-S-n) and 5 with numeric codes (S-1, S-3-S-6).

Global Regulators Orchestrate Group II Intron Retromobility [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2009 Group II introns are hypothesized to share common ancestry with both nuclear spliceosomal introns and retrotransposons, which collectively occupy the majority of genome space in higher eukaryotes. These phylogenetically diverse introns are mobile retroelements that move through an RNA intermediate.

Mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA-based phylogeny of Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) [PDF]
, 2000 Overall phylogenetic relationships within the genus Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) were inferred based on DNA sequences from mitochondrial(mt)-encoded nad1 b/c exons and from chloroplast(cp)-encoded trnL (UAA) 5' exon-trnF (GAA) exon regions using two species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Maturases can specifically bind to intron-containing pre-RNAs, folding them into catalytic structures that facilitate intron splicing in vivo. Plants possess four nuclear-encoded maturase-related factors (nMAT1-nMAT4) and some maturases have been shown ...
