A 12-kilobase DNA sequence has been identified in the maize mitochondrial genome which is homologous to part of the inverted repeat of the maize chloroplast genome. In chloroplasts the sequence contains a 16S rRNA gene, and also the coding sequences for tRNAIle and tRNAVal. Mitochondrial DNA from the male-sterile cytoplasms of maize is altered in this region.
在玉米线粒体基因组中鉴定出一段12千碱基的DNA序列,它与玉米叶绿体基因组反向重复序列的一部分同源。在叶绿体中,该序列包含一个16S rRNA基因以及tRNAIle和tRNAVal的编码序列。玉米雄性不育细胞质的线粒体DNA在该区域发生了改变。
