    Sequence analysis of the junctions between a large inverted repeat and single-copy regions in tobacco chloroplast DNA

    Tobacco chloroplast DNA contains a large inverted repeat sequence of 26 kilobase pairs (kbp). The inverted repeat is separated by 20 kbp small single-copy and 90 kbp large single-copy regions. We have cloned f...

    The complete sequence of the rice (Oryza sativa) chloroplast genome: Intermolecular recombination between distinct tRNA genes accounts for a major plastid DNA inversion during the evolution of the cereals

    The entire chloroplast genome of the monocot rice (Oryza sativa) has been sequenced and comprises 134525 bp. Predicted genes have been identified along with open reading frames (ORFs) conserved between rice and t...

    Rice chloroplast RNA polymerase genes: The absence of an intron in rpoC1 and the presence of an extra sequence in rpoC2

    The chloroplast genome contains sequences homologous to the Escherichia coli rpoA, rpoB and rpoC genes. The Choroplast rpoC gene is divided into rpoC1 and rpoC2, of which rpoC1 contains an intron. Comparison of t...

    Molecular analysis of the gene encoding a rice starch branching enzyme

    The sequence of a rice gene encoding a starch branching enzyme (sbe1) shows extreme divergence from that of the rice gene, that is homologous to bacterial glycogen branching enzyme (sbe2). sbe1 is expressed abund...
