Abstract
Chloroplast DNA from three barley cultivars and from one lettuce cultivar was prepared from chloroplasts isolated by Conventional differential centrifugation. Barley chloroplast DNA size was sensibly lower (130 kpb) than lettuce chloroplast DNA (150 kpb). Chloroplast DNAs from the three barley cultivars showed similar restriction fragment patterns after digestion with: BamHI, EcoRI or HindIII. The lettuce chloroplast DNA restriction pattern was very different from the barley chloroplast DNA restriction pattern.
