Figure 1.
Restriction maps of the two regions from R. violacea plastid DNA containing respectively exon 1 and exons 2 + 3 of the HO-encoding gene. Representative restriction sites: D, DraI, E, EcoRI, H, HindIII, P, PvuII, S, Sau3A. (A) The 8.8-kb region containing exon 1 obtained by cloning a 6.8-kb EcoRI fragment and its 2-kb flanking region by PCR walk on plastid DNA. (Lower) Sequenced region presented in Fig. 2A. (B) The 7-kb region containing exons 2 and 3. The whole was obtained by overlapping clones: a 2.7-kb HindIII clone (clone 3) containing exon 3, a 3.8-kb PCR product (PCR9) obtained between exon 2 and exon 3, and a 2.7-kb EcoRI clone (clone 4) isolated by screening a total EcoRI library with the 75-nt exon 2 obtained by PCR. (Lower) Sequenced regions presented in Fig. 2 B and C.
