Abstract: | Approximately 4200 nucleotides of the 16S/23S rDNA spacer and the 5 region flanking therrn operon of the plastid chromosomes representing the five basic, phylogenetically relatedEuoenothera plastomes were sequenced and compared. The sequences that harbor the putative replication origins are almost identical except for a 785-bp intercistronic segment between the genes for the 16S rRNA andtrnI. Differences are mainly caused by insertions/deletions and duplications; the predicted potential for formation of quite extensive secondary structure differs among the plastomes. Unexpected intraplastome variation has also been noted. Furthermore, the sequence-based and published genetically deduced plastome pedigrees differ significantly. |
