Distinction between Nuclear Satellite DNAs and Chloroplast DNA in Higher Plants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Triton X-100 solubilized chloroplast DNA but not nuclear DNA from a mixture of chloroplasts and nuclei. The buoyant density of chloroplast DNA was different from that of the satellite DNA in all of the species examined (Phaseolus coccineus, Cucumis sativus, Cucumis melo, Antirrhinum majus, Vicia faba, Oenothera fruiticosa youngii). Chloroplast DNA constituted between 4.3% and 0.25% of the total leaf DNA in these species, and was present as 5 to 20 copies in each chloroplast.

Characterization of Satellite DNA from Three Marine Dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae): Glenodinium sp. and Two Members of the Toxic Genus, Protogonyaulax.
Using CsCl-Hoechst dye or CsCl-ethidium bromide gradients, satellite and nuclear DNAs were separated and characterized in three marine dinoflagellates: Glenodinium sp., and two toxic dinoflagellates, Protogonyaulax tamarensis and Protogonyaulax catenella. In all three dinoflagellates, the lowest density fraction, satellite DNA(1), hybridized to chloroplast genes derived from terrestrial plants ...
متن کاملNucleotide Sequence Homology Exists between the Chloroplast and Nuclear Ribosomal DNAs of Euglena gracilis.
The nuclear and chloroplast ribosomal DNAs from Euglena were shown to have specific regions of nucleotide sequence homology. The regions of homology were identified by hybridization of restriction endonuclease DNA fragments of cloned chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal DNAs to one another. The regions of homology between these two ribosomal DNAs were in that part of the genes that code for the 3'...
متن کاملSequence Homology between Chloroplast DNAs from Several Higher Plants.
An estimate has been made of the amount of sequence homology present in the chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) of several higher plants by the technique of DNA-DNA hybridization. Approximately 85% of tomato, 60% of spinach, 45% of kale, and 15% of barley ctDNA sequences were found to hybridize with tobacco ctDNA under conditions in which maximum hybridization in homologous reactions reached 85%. All heter...
متن کاملThe constancy of the buoyant density of chloroplast and mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acids in a range of higher plants.
A previous report (4) gave buoyant density values for chloroplast and mitochondrial DNAs prepared from spinach, lettuce, broad bean, and sweet pea by the DNase technique, which takes advantage of the property of intact organelles to resist exogenous DNase action (3). With these higher plants, the buoyant densities of the chloroplast and mitochondrial DNAs fell into two distinct groups, with val...
متن کاملPatterns of Genomic Integration of Nuclear Chloroplast DNA Fragments in Plant Species
The transfer of organelle DNA fragments to the nuclear genome is frequently observed in eukaryotes. These transfers are thought to play an important role in gene and genome evolution of eukaryotes. In plants, such transfers occur from plastid to nuclear [nuclear plastid DNAs (NUPTs)] and mitochondrial to nuclear (nuclear mitochondrial DNAs) genomes. The amount and genomic organization of organe...
