Did RNA editing in plant organellar genomes originate under natural selection or through genetic drift?

BACKGROUND: The C↔U substitution types of RNA editing have been observed frequently in organellar genomes of land plants. Although various attempts have been made to explain why such a seemingly inefficient genetic mechanism would have evolved, no satisfactory explanation exists in our view. In this...
