The plant mitochondrial genome encodes several subunits of the ATP synthase (ATPase) complex including the alpha subunit of the catalytic F~portion (atpA) and subunits 6 and 9 of the proton-translocating Fo-portion (atp6 and atp9 ). In

β¦ Synopsis
There are two copies of the ATPase subunit 6 (atp6) gene in the soybean mitochondrial genome which differ in their gene organization but share extensive homology with the maize atp6 gene except at their 5' ends. The two soybean genes are chimeric, containing regions with homology to other known mitochondrial β’ genes at their 5' ends. Sequences homologous to the cytochrome oxidase subunit II (coxlI) are located in one copy and sequences homologous to the ATPase subunit 9 (atp9) gene are located in the other copy, both of which contain methionine (ATG) codons that are in-frame with the remainder of the atp6 open reading frame. At least the copy of atp6 that contains the coxlI sequence at its 5' end is abundantly transcribed to give an RNA of approximately 1,200 nucleotides.

We present the nucleotide sequence of a 5207-bp-long region of the mitochondrial genome of the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum. This represents about 1/5th of the total genome and extends a previous study. From the 5' end of the present sequence, the order of genes is as follows: the end of the ND4
In contrast to the situation in animals and fungi the a-subunit of the mitochondrial F1-ATPase is encoded by two identical mitochondrial genes (A TP A) in male fertile maize (Zea mays L.). Cytoplasmic male sterile (T, C and S) maize mitochondrial genomes only contain a single copy of the gene. Seque
