Genbank accession number

• The ribosome biogenesis defect and plastid-encoded RNA polymerase complex activity impairment in wsp1 potentially account for the stripe leaf in the seedling and white panicle in the heading stage
• The RNA editing factor WSP1 is essential for chloroplast development in rice.
• Transmission electron microscopy and chlorophyll content measurements revealed a chloroplast developmental defect and a reduced and low rate of chlorophyll accumulation in wsp1
• Owing to plastid RNA factor editing defect, chloroplast ribosome biogenesis and ndhA splicing were also impaired in wsp1
• Together, this is the first study to demonstrate the importance of a rice WSP1 protein in chloroplast development and to broaden our knowledge about MORF family members (WSP1) in rice

• DUA1, WSP1, The RNA editing factor DUA1 is crucial to chloroplast development at low temperature in rice., The RNA editing cofactor WSP1, a partner of DUA1, also participates in chloroplast development at low temperature
• DUA1, WSP1, The RNA editing factor DUA1 is crucial to chloroplast development at low temperature in rice., Western blot analysis indicates that WSP1 enhances DUA1 stability under low temperatures
