The plastid ribisomal RNA (rRNA) operon of the achlorophyllous root parasite Conopholis americana was completely sequenced. Full-length rRNA genes are retained in the gene cluster, but significant divergence has occurred in the 16S, 23S and 5S genes. Both the 16S-23S intergenic spacer and the 4.5S-5
The plastid 16S-23S intergenic spacer region in Conopholis americana, a totally heterotrophic angiosperm in the family Orobanchaceae, has undergone large deletions, including the entire tRNA(Ile) gene and all but small remnants of the tRNA(Ala) gene. The length of the region is less than 20% of that
