title: The gene for tRNA(Lys) is encoded in the rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) mitochondrial DNA.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for tRNA(Lys) and its flanking regions from the rapeseed mitochondrial genome are presented and compared with other known tRNA(Lys) genes from plant mitochondria. This tRNA sequence can be folded into the standard cloverleaf structure model. Also, this tRNA sequence shows less similarity with its chloroplast counterparts and therefore appears to be 'native' mitochondrial tRNA.
