Abstract

Transcription of rps2, rps4, rps7, rps11, rps14, rps15, rps18, rpl20, rpl33 and rpl36 from the tobacco chloroplast genome has been studied. Northern blot analysis has revealed that all these genes are transcribed in the chloroplast. Multiple transcripts were detected for all the genes and amounts of the transcripts were quite different among the ten genes. These ten ribosomal protein genes together with the ten other ribosomal protein genes published previously were complied and compared. Four out of the twenty genes contain introns, possible secondary structures of which are presented.
