Evolution of the chloroplast genome [PDF]
We discuss the suggestion that differences in the nucleotide composition between plastid and nuclear genomes may provide a selective advantage in the transposition of genes from plastid to nucleus. We show that in the adenine, thymine (AT)–rich genome of Borrelia burgdorferi several genes have an AT–content lower ...

Chloroplast ribosomal protein L32 is encoded in the chloroplast genome [PDF]
The 50 S subunit of chloroplast ribosomes was prepared from tobacco leaves. The proteins were fractionated and the N‐terminal amino acid sequence of a 14 kDa protein was determined. This sequence matches the N‐terminal sequence deduced from ORF55 located between ndhF and trnL on the small single‐copy region of tobacco chloroplast DNA.

The remarkable chloroplast genome of dinoflagellates [PDF]
Dinoflagellates are an economically and ecologically important eukaryotic algal group. The organization of their chloroplast genome appears to be radically different from that in plants and other algae. The gene content has been dramatically reduced in dinoflagellates, with the large-scale transfer of genes to the nucleus.

The Chloroplast Genome of Symplocarpus renifolius: A Comparison of Chloroplast Genome Structure in Araceae [PDF]
Symplocarpus renifolius is a member of Araceae family that is extraordinarily diverse in appearance. Previous studies on chloroplast genomes in Araceae were focused on duckweeds (Lemnoideae) and root crops (Colocasia, commonly known as taro). Here, we determined the chloroplast genome of Symplocarpus renifolius and compared the factors, such as genes ...

The chloroplast genome: a review [PDF]
AbstractChloroplasts are the metabolically active, semi-autonomous organelles found in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. Their main function is to carry out the photosynthesis process involving a conversion of light energy into the energy of chemical bonds used for the synthesis of organic compounds.

A Comparison of Rice Chloroplast Genomes [PDF]
Abstract Using high quality sequence reads extracted from our whole genome shotgun repository, we assembled two chloroplast genome sequences from two rice (Oryza sativa) varieties, one from 93-11 (a typical indica variety) and the other from PA64S (an indica-like variety with maternal origin of japonica), which are both parental ...

Chloroplast envelope protein encoded by chloroplast genome [PDF]
The gene product of an open reading frame of chloroplast genome, ORF 231 in pea, was immunochemically detected in chloroplast and etioplast envelopes. This is the first protein of a Chloroplast Envelope Membrane encoded by a chloroplast genome. It was named CEM A and the gene, cem A.

ChloroplastDB: the Chloroplast Genome Database [PDF]
The Chloroplast Genome Database (ChloroplastDB) is an interactive, web-based database for fully sequenced plastid genomes, containing genomic, protein, DNA and RNA sequences, gene locations, RNA-editing sites, putative protein families and alignments (http://chloroplast.cbio.psu.edu/).

Comparative Chloroplast Genomics in Phyllanthaceae Species [PDF]
Family Phyllanthaceae belongs to the eudicot order Malpighiales, and its species are herbs, shrubs, and trees that are mostly distributed in tropical regions. Here, we elucidate the molecular evolution of the chloroplast genome in Phyllanthaceae and identify the polymorphic loci for phylogenetic inference.
