Chromosome locations of five genes encoding photosynthetic electron transfer proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract

The chromosome locations of nuclear genes encoding four photosynthetic electron transfer proteins have been determined by examining restriction fragment length polymorphisms in F8recombinant inbred lines of Arabidopsis thaliana. The single-copy PetC gene encoding the chloroplast Rieske FeS protein was mapped to the top of chromosome 4, whereas the PetE and PetF genes encoding plastocyanin and ferredoxin, respectively, were mapped to different parts of chromosome 1. Two PetH genes encoding ferredoxin-NADP+oxidoreductase were mapped to the top of chromosome 1 and the bottom of chromosome 5.
