Abstract
The organization and expression of plastid genomes are among the most extensively studied rid& in plant molecular biology. Restriction endonuclease cleavage site maps have been constructed for the plastid genomes of many plant species. Genes for the rRNAs, for most of the tRNAs and for several proteins have been located on these physical maps. Furthermore, the nucleotide sequences of many of these genes, and/or the corresponding RNAs, have been determined. This article, which is an up-date of the information found in Bohnert et al., 1982 and Crouse et al., 1984, compiles the information on plastid genomes, genes and RNAs which has appeared in the literature. Some highlights of the data, along with the literature citations, are presented in tableform. In addition, related information on cyanobacteria is included. Table 1 lists the plastid genomes for which physical maps have been constructed, and indicates the genes which have been mapped. Sequenced genes for rRNAs, tRNAs and proteins are compiled in Tables 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Gene
