Translational regulation of gene expression in plants.
Translational regulation plays a major role in plant gene expression. Recent advances have been made in understanding how this mechanism of control is directed in the chloroplast as well as in the cytoplasm. Our knowledge of translational regulation in plant mitochondria, however, is limited. Translational control of gene expression in yeast mitochondria suggests that similar mechanisms will also play a significant role in the expression of plant mitochondrial genes.
