Abstract excerpt
Higher-order structures have been constructed for plastid-encoded small-subunit (SSU, 16S), rRNAs from representatives of seven nonphotosynthetic holoparasitic angiosperm families: Apodanthaceae, Cynomoriaceae, Cytinaceae, Balanophoraceae, Hydnoraceae, Mitrastemonaceae, and Rafflesiaceae. Whereas most pairwise comparisons among angiosperms differ by 2-3% in substitutions, the 16S rRNAs of the holoparasites show...
