Abstract excerpt

The hot-spot region related to length mutations in the chloroplast genome of the wheat group was precisely analyzed at the DNA sequence level. This region, located downstream from the rbcL gene, was highly enriched in A + T, and contained a number of direct and inverted repeats. Many deletions/in...
