Analysis of plastid rRNA processing in the obgc1-d1 mutant. A A diagram of rice plastid rRNA operon. The probes used in the RNA gel blot analyses in (B) are shown as thick black lines under individual rRNA genes. B RNA gel blot analysis. One microgram of total RNAs from wild-type (Dongjin) or obgc1-d1 mutant was loaded and separated in 1.2% agarose-formaldehyde gels, and blots were probed with specific gene sequences to detect processed plastid precursor rRNAs. The cytosolic 17S rRNA shown in the 4th gel image was used as a loading or negative control
