title: PLMItRNA, a database on the heterogeneous genetic origin of mitochondrial tRNA genes and tRNAs in photosynthetic eukaryotes.
abstract: The updated version of PLMItRNA reports information and multialignments on 609 genes and 34 tRNA molecules active in the mitochondria of Viridiplantae (27 Embryophyta and 10 Chlorophyta), and photosynthetic algae (one Cryptophyta, four Rhodophyta and two Stramenopiles). Colour-code based tables reporting the different genetic origin of identified genes allow hyper-textual link to single entries. Promoter sequences identified for tRNA genes in the mitochondrial genomes of Angiospermae are also reported. The PLMItRNA database is accessible at http://bighost.area.ba.cnr.it/PLMItRNA/.
