The genes encoding tRNA(TGASer) have been investigated in the mitochondrial (mt) genomes of Oenothera berteriana and Arabidopsis thaliana. Sequence analysis shows four nucleotide (nt) differences between the two dicots, but only two differences between each dicot and the available monocot sequences. Similarity comparisons identify these genes as encoding a native mt tRNA(TGASer), with less than 77% of the nt identical to the corresponding chloroplast tRNAs.
