Abstract excerpt
The initiator methionine transfer RNA (tRNA(fMet)) gene was identified on a 347 bp Eco RI-Hind III DNA fragment of the potato mitochondrial (mt) genome. The sequence of this gene shows 1 to 7 nucleotide differences with the other plant mt tRNAs(fMet) or tRNA(fMet) genes studied so far. Whereas the tRNA(fMet) gene is present as a single copy in the potato mt genome, a tRNA 'pseudogene' corresponding to 60% of a...
