“…All of these sites were C-to-U conversions, and over half of the sites (960 of 1,720, 32 of each plastome) are shared by all plastomes. Most RNA editing sites are situated in the second codon position ( Regel and Tiling, 1838 ; Klotzsch et al., 1862 ; Handel-Mazzetti, 1933 ; Pimenov and Kljuykov, 1999 ; Пименов et al., 2011 ; Murrell et al., 2012 ; Huipeng et al., 2014; Bai et al., 2015 ; Murrell et al., 2015 ; Smith et al., 2015 ; Zhou et al., 2020b ; Ren et al., 2022 ), followed by the first codon position ( Zhou et al., 2008 ; Zhou et al., 2009 ; Downie et al., 2010 ; Zhou et al., 2020a ; Zhou et al., 2021 ), while no sites are situated in the third codon position. Seventeen genes ( accD , atpA , atpB , matK , ndhA , ndhB , ndhD , ndhF , ndhG , petB , psaI , psbE , psbF , rpoB , rpoC1 , rpoC2 , rps14 ) were found to have at least one editing site in all plastomes, and five ( accD , ndhG , ndhB , matK , rpoC ) possess editing sites of both kinds of codon position.…”
