^aPrimers were derived from mRNA sequences of nucleus-encoded genes (Eno29, GapA, Pbgd, PetA, PetJ and PsbO) for chloroplast proteins (enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, porphobilinogen deaminase, cytochrome f, cytochrome c₆, and 30 kDa protein of the oxygen-evolving complex, respectively).

^bNumber of reference in the reference list in which the corresponding mRNA was characterized.

^cAccesion numbers of mRNAs.

^d,eThe numbers of primers correspond to the positions in mRNA sequences that can be found under the accession numbers (accession number) listed in the third column. For example, forward primer 65–84 (first row, fourth column) is identical to positions 65–84 of Eno29 mRNA sequence, which can be found under accession number AJ272112 and reverse primers 298–279 (first row, fifth column) is complementary to the sequence 279–298 of Eno29 mRNA.
