Fig. 5.

The putative scheme of the 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) secondary structure for Panax ginseng based on the data for the wheat 18S rRNA molecule. The nucleotide substitutions are highlighted in red letters, deletions are indicated as red “D,” and the insertion is in red letter in a circle. Yellow, blue, and lilac regions indicate de novo modeled elements of the expansion segments, variable and conservative helices, respectively. (A) and (B) Comparison of the 18S rRNA sequences of P. ginseng, which are identical to the GenBank sequence (accession number D83275) with that of Triticum aestivum and 18S rRNA sequences of P. ginseng among themselves, respectively.
