Abstract
During the past 15 years, there have been remarkable advances in molecular biology of the organization of the genes related to the chloroplast genome. Higher plant’s chloroplast (cp-) DNA can be isolated as a covalently, closed circular molecule with a molecular mass, depending upon the species, of 85−95 × 103 kD (Kolodner and Tewari 1975). Denaturation mapping (Kolodner and Tewari 1975) and restriction endonuclease analysis (Bedbrook and Bogorad 1976) have shown that the majority of the circular molecules in the chloroplasts of a given species are identical in sequence. Then the physical maps of the cp-DNA from various plants such as Zea may (Bedbrook et al. 1977; Palmer 1985) and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Rochaix 1978) have been reported. Shinozaki et al. (1986) sequenced the entire cp-genome from the chloroplasts of Nicotiana tabacum and Ohyama et al. (1986) did the same for Marchantia polymorpha: the cp-genome of N. tabacum and M. polymorpha contain 155,844 base pairs and 121,024 base pairs, respectively.
