Abstract
The sequences in the petunia genome which encode the small subunit
polypeptides of the chloroplast enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase
have been characterized. Sequence analysis of four cDNA clones indicates
that there are several distinct genes transcribed in leaf tissue. There is
8-9% nucleotide divergence between the transcripts however these changes do
not alter the encoded amino acid sequence. Examination of nuclear DNA by
Southern hybridization and analysis of cloned small subunit genes confirm
that there are a number of different genes which encode this single protein.
