Abstract: | Libraries of cosmid and plasmid clones covering the entire region of mtDNA from the liverwortMarchantia polymorpha were constructed. These clones were used for the determination of the complete nucleotide sequence of the liverwort mtDNA
totally 186,608 bp (GenBank no. M68929) and including genes for 3 species of ribosomal RNAs, 29 genes for 27 species of transfer
RNAs, and 30 genes for functionally known proteins (16 ribosomal proteins, 3 subunits of cytochromec oxidase, apocytochromeb protein, 3 subunits of H+-ATPase, and 7 subunits of NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase). The genome also contains 32 unidentified open reading frames.
Thus the complete nucleotide sequences from both chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes have been determined in the same organism.
Plasmid clones are available upon the request.
Gene names are represented according to Lonsdale and Leaver (1988) with modifications recommended by Lonsdale (personal communication). |
