Abstract: | Summary Nicotiana tabacum chloroplast DNA was digested with several restriction endonucleases chosen for their potential usefulness in distinguishing between species of the genus, Nicotiana. The resulting fragments were ordered into a circular configuration of about 160 kilobase pairs, equalling about 100x106 daltons. The physical map features an inverted, repeated unit of about 24 kilobase pairs separated by a unique sequence region with a mean size of 13 kilobase pairs on the short side. The cistrons coding for chloroplast ribosomal RNA are contained within the inverted repeat and have the arrangement: 16S, spacer, 23S, 4.5S/5S. Restriction endonuclease maps obtained with the enzymes PvuII, XhoI, and BglI are presented. |
