title: Nucleotide sequences of tobacco chloroplast genes for elongator tRNAMet and tRNAVal (UAC): the tRNAVal (UAC) gene contains a long intron.
abstract: The nucleotide sequences of tobacco chloroplast genes for elongator tRNAMet and tRNAVal (UAC) have been determined. The tRNAVal gene contains a 571 base pairs intron located in the anticodon loop. The tRNAVal gene is transcribed as a 750 bases precursor RNA molecule. Both tRNAs deduced from the DNA sequences show 97% sequence homologies with those of spinach chloroplasts.
