We have determined the nucleotide sequence at the junction of the large single copy (LSC) region and the right and left members of the large inverted repeat, IRA and IRB, respectively, of the petunia chloroplast (cp) genome. As in Nicotiana debneyi and spinach (Zurawski et al. 1984), coding sequence

โฆ Synopsis
Tobacco chloroplast DNA contains a large inverted repeat sequence of 26 kilobase pairs (kbp). The inverted repeat is separated by 20 kbp small single-copy and 90 kbp large single-copy regions. We have cloned four DNA fragments containing each junction between the inverted repeat and the single-copy regions. The sequence analysis revealed the exact edges of the inverted repeat. A putative coding region for a ribosomal protein CS19 was found 4 base pairs (bp) away from the inverted repeat on the left margin of the large single-copy region. A sequence AGGAG, which is complementary to the 3' terminal sequence of tobacco chloroplast 16S rRNA, was found within the inverted repeat. A tRNA his gene was found 5 bp away from the inverted repeat on the right-hand margin of the large single-copy region.

In order to determine the localization of ribosomal protein genes on the chloroplast genome of Spirodela, we have followed two different approaches: First, antisera were prepared against purified 30S, 50S and 70S chloroplast ribosomal proteins from Spinacia.
