โฆ Synopsis
A physical map of chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) of aerial yam, Dioscorea bulbifera L. was constructed using three restriction endonucleases, PstI, SalI, and SmaI. In addition, a clone bank of the BamHI-digested fragments were generated, and the locations of most BamHI fragments on the map were also determined. The ctDNA of D. bulbifera was found to be a circular molecule with a total size of ca. 152 kb involving two inverted repeats of ca. 25.5 kb, and small and large single copy regions of ca. 18.5 and 83.4 kb, respectively. The genes for the large subunit of the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) and the ATP-synthase subunits ฮฒ and ษ (atpB/atpE) were mapped.

We have determined the position of Spirodela oligorhiza chloroplast 4S RNA genes on the restriction fragment map of cp DNA, using purified in vitro[(32)P]-labeled 4S RNA. The overall organization of these genes is very similar to the organization of tRNAs on spinach cp DNA (Driesel et al. 1979).
