[Photosystem II of rye. Nucleotide sequence of the psbK gene and regions adjacent to it].

The structure of the rye chloroplast DNA which contains the psbK gene coding for a subunit of photosystem II is determined. The gene psbI encoding an other protein of photosystem II is located 407 bp downstream from the stop codon of this gene. The determination of structure of the intergenic region between the psbI and psbD genes is fully elucidated. The rye BamHI fragment, comprising the psbK gene, is structurally similar to the corresponding fragment of the barley genome.
