چکیده
Considerable evidence exists which is consistent with the picture that the chloroplast system of E1uglcna is unider autonomous genietic control. This includes studies of ultraviolet inactivationi anid photoreactivation of chloroplast inheritanice (7, 10. 13, 14) and the demonlstration of a unique species of chloroplast-associated DNA (3, 4, s5, 9, 11). Evidence has been presented for distinct chloroplast-associated RNA, in additioni to the usual niuclear DNA anid cvtollasmnic RNA (2, 6). In this communicationi we l)rovide ad(litionial evidence for the localization of DNA in the chloroplasts.

Transcription program of the chloroplast genome of Euglena gracilis during chloroplast development.
RNA transcription in Euglena gracilis chloroplasts has been characterized by hybridization of RNA from cells at different stages of chloroplast development to (3)H-labeled chloroplast DNA restriction endonuclease fragments. Chloroplast DNA was digested into five fragments of 53,000, 35,000, 25,000, 10,000, and 6900 base pairs with Pst I. The 53,000-base-pair DNA was further cleaved by BamHI dig...
متن کاملLoss of Chloroplast trnLUAA Intron in Two Species of Hedysarum (Fabaceae): Evolutionary Implications
Previous studies have indicated that in all land plants examined to date, the chloroplast gene trnLUAA isinterrupted by a single group I intron ranging from 250 to over 1400 bp. The parasitic Epifagus virginiana haslost, however, the entire gene. We report that the intron is missing from the chloroplast genome of twoarctic species of the legume genus Hedysarum (H. alpinum, H. ...
متن کاملInfluence of growth conditions upon the number of chloroplast DNA molecules in Euglena gracilis.
The number of chloroplast DNA molecules in Euglena gracilis cells was measured by determining the shift in the observed second-order rate constant for the reassociation of (125)I-labeled chloroplast DNA in the presence of unlabeled total cell DNA. Cells grown to stationary phase in the dark contained 217 molecules of chloroplast DNA. Cells grown to stationary phase in the light in either hetero...
متن کاملComparison of Chloroplast DNA Diversity in Some Iranian Apple Genotypes, Commercial Cultivars and Rootstocks
The chloroplastic DNA of 64 accessions of apple (Malus spp.) (54 Iranian genotypes, five commercial cultivars and five rootstocks) were analyzed to reveal their haplotypes by using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Approximately 4320 bp of the chloroplast genome was analyzed, by using two chloroplast universal primer pairs and two restriction ...
متن کاملSpecific Inhibition of Chloroplast Replication in Euglena Gracilis by Nalidixic Acid
In Euglena gracilis the synthesis of the chloroplast from its precursor, the proplastid, is separated in time from the division or replication of the organelle which occurs just prior to cell division (10, 12). The proplastids are only found in darkgrown cells and rapidly form chloroplasts when such cells are exposed to light. The proplastids divide during dark growth. Ultraviolet irradiation i...
