Abstract excerpt
Three distinct arginine tRNA genes, trnR-CCG, trnR-ACG, and trnR-UCU, are present in the plastid genome of bryophytes, whereas only the latter two trnR genes are present in the major vascular plants, except for black pine. trnR-CCG is located between rbcL and accD in the moss Physcomitrella patens and it was previously believed to be functional in plastids. However, no trnR-CCG transcript has been detected by...
