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: All 11 functional genes (ndh genes) for subunits of a putative NADH dehydrogenase that are found in the chloroplast genomes of angiosperms and a bryophyte are lost, raising the possibility that all ndh genes have been transferred to the nucleus or that an NADH dehydration is not essential in black pine chloroplasts.

TL;DR: The complete nucleotide sequence of the chloroplast genome from the unicellular green alga Chlorella vulgaris C-27 has been determined and the existence of two adjacent genes homologous to bacterial genes involved in cell division, minD and minE, suggests that C. vulgaris is closer to land plants than to red and brown algae.

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: Comparison of editing patterns raises a possibility that many editing sites were acquired in the evolution of angiosperm chloroplast genomes.
