TL;DR: Five sequences coding for proteins homologous to components of the respiratory‐chain NADH dehydrogenase from human mitochondria have been found and sequence and expression analyses indicate both prokaryotic and eukaryotic features of the chloroplast genes.

TL;DR: The c o m p l e t e n u c i e o t i d e sequence, which codes f o r the l a r g e s u b u n i t of r i b u l o s e l, is p r e s e n t e d.

TL;DR: Functional analysis of 5′ deletions suggests that the distal region between -788 and -345 contains sequences that potentiate the high-level expression in tobacco protoplasts and the region (-68 to -47) proximal to the TATA box functions as a putative silencer.

TL;DR: The location and nucleotide sequences of tobacco chloroplast genes for tRNAGlu(UUC), tRNATyr(GUA) and tRNAAsp(GUC) have been determined and northern blot hybridization studies revealed that these three tRNA genes are cotranscribed.

TL;DR: Transcription of the psaA operon in tobacco chloroplasts contains in linear sequence the genes encoding the P700 chlorophyll a A1 and A2 apoproteins and the gene encoding the ribosomal CS14 protein.
