An atp8 promoter sequence affected by rearrangement among syntenic regions. Alignment of nucleotide sequences shows the comparison of predicted promoters for the gene atp8 among three mitochondrial genomes including Arabidopsis, and Ogura and normal radish. In Ogura-type genome, a promoter core (in a dotted box) is lost. This nucleotide change can affect transcription of the gene atp8.
