Abstract
The mitochondrial gene encoding NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (nad1) in Petunia hybrida is split into five exons, a, b, c, d, and e. With the use of a complete restriction map of the 443-kb Petunia mitochondrial genome, we have cloned these exons and mapped their location. Exon a is located 130 kb away from and in the opposite orientation from exons b and c. Exon d maps 95 kb away and in the opposite orientation from exons b and c. Exons d and e are separated by 190 kb. By performing the polymerase chain reaction on Petunia cDNAs, we have shown that transcripts from these five exons are joined via a series of cis- and trans-splicing events to create a mature nad1 transcript. In addition, we have found 23 C----U RNA edit sites in Petunia nad1. RNA editing changes 19 of the amino acids predicted by the genomic sequence.
