		316 ACa (T) → CAa (Q)
		454 aaAGaa (KE) → aaCCaa (NQ)
		no similarity in downstream of 931^th bp due to DNA rearrangement

^aThe SNP polymorphism can potentially be eliminated if the plant mitochondrial.
C-to-U RNA editing occur.
The pattern of base changes and corresponding amino acid changes is described. The polymorphic site (the number indicates the position of the first nucleotide), with the polymorphic nucleotide capitalized, and the corresponding amino acid in parentheses, is given to the left of the arrow for Jeju and to the right of the arrow for FS4401.
