Nucleotide sequences of chloroplast tRNA genes and their 3' flanking regions were obtained from the GenBank genome database http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/genlist.cgi?taxid=2759&type=4&name=Eukaryotae%20Organelles, the Chloroplast Genome Database (ChloroplastDB; http://chloroplast.cbio.psu.edu/organism.cgi), and the Organelle Genome Database (GOBASE; http://gobase.bcm.umontreal.ca/searches/gene.php). The discriminator nucleotide was predicted using tRNAscan-SE 1.21 http://lowelab.ucsc.edu/tRNAscan-SE/. +Percentage of chloroplast tRNA genes encoding 74CNN76, 74CCN76 and 74CCA76.
