Abstract excerpt
Non-functional trnF pseudogenes that rarely occur in embryophytes have been found in Solanaceae. We have sequenced the trnL-F intergenic spacer of four species of Solanum, and found duplicated regions of the original trnF gene. These repeats were 94-260 bp long causing large length variation in the trnL-F intergenic spacer resulting from differences in pseudogene copy number (2-4). The duplicated trnF regions are...
