Arabidopsis CFM6, a CRM domain protein, is involved in the splicing of mitochondrial group II intron 4 of nad5 and normal plant growth

CFM6 Knockout mutant affects respiratory complex I biogenesis, which results in mitochondria dysfunction. To better understand the function of CFM6 and to further investigate other possible factors that might result in mutant phenotypes, whole-transcriptome analysis was carried out using RNA-seq from Col-0 and cfm6-1 plants. mRNA profiles of 2-wk-old Col-0 and cfm6-1 were generated by RNA-seq method, with 3 biological replicates, using Illumina HiSeqTM 2500.
