Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of tobacco chloroplast genes for tRNASer (GCU) and tRNAGln (UUG) have been determined. These tRNA genes are encoded on the same DNA strand and separated by 1144 bp. Two open reading frames of 52 codons and 98 codons have been found in this spacer region. The tRNASer (GCU) and tRNAGln (UUG) deduced from the DNA sequences show 67% and 76% sequence homologies with E. coli tRNASer (GCU) and tRNAGln (UUG), respectively.
