Summary

The location and nucleotide sequence of the genes and flanking regions for tRNAArg(ACG) and tRNALeu(UAG) on tobacco chloroplast DNA have been determined. The gene arrangement is 5S rRNA - 260 bp -tRNAArg - 581 by - tRNAAsn - 5.2 kbp - tRNALeu. The tRNAArg and tRNALeu genes are expressed in the chloroplasts. The opposite strand of the tRNAArg gene contains a tRNAArg-like sequence. The tRNAArg, tRNAAsn and tRNALeu coding regions are contained in open reading frames.
