title: [The complete nucleotide sequence of Brassica napus chloroplast 16S rRNA gene].
abstract: The complete nucleotide sequence of a 16S rRNA gene and its flanking sequence from Brassica napus chloroplast has been determined. The 16S rRNA gene is 1491 bp in length, having 98.5%, and 96.1% homology with those of tobacco and maize chloroplast, respectively. The large stem and loop structure can be constructed from the sequence surrounding the 5' and 3' ends of the 16S rRNA gene. The stem is about half shorter than that of tobacco, due to a 79 bp deletion in Brassica napus chloroplast.
