RNA editing altered the RNA sequence by replacing the C nucleotide to U in the organellar genomes of plants. RNA editing status sometimes differed among distant species. The pattern of conservation and variation of RNA editing status made it possible to evaluate evolutionary mechanisms impacting functional aspects of RNA editing. In this study, divergence of RNA editing in the chloroplast genome amongArabidopsisspecies was analyzed to determine 9 losses and 1 gain in RNA editing. All changes inA. thalianalineage resulted from changes to the chloroplast genome sequence, whereas changes in theA. lyrata/hallerilineage were possibly due to exclusive changes in the nuclear editing factors. One loss of RNA editing inA. lyratawas caused by a deficiency in the PPR geneOTP80. The changes in RNA editing occurred approximately every two million years and were not observed at functionally important sites. These results highlight the conserved nature of RNA editing status suggesting the importance of RNA editing during evolution.
