Abstract The four Sal I fragments of wheat mitochondrial DNA containing the 18S and 5S ribosomal RNA genes were screened for the presence of tRNA genes. Upon sequencing, a tRNAPro (UGG) gene was found in two of these four fragments. The localization of the corresponding gene on the maize mitochondrial genome was established. Transcriptional studies have shown that this gene is transcribed in wheat and maize mitochondria. The sequence of the corresponding tRNAPro (UGG) of bean mitochondria was determined using in vitro post-labeling techniques.
