Table 2 Differences in mitochondrial genes encoding proteins between barley and wheat
From: Mitochondrial genome sequences from wild and cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare)
Gene in barley | Differences from wheat |
|---|---|
nad6 | 1. Low homology at 3′ side (from 646 to 738 nt). |
2. Additional 201 nt on 3′ side (67 amino acid on the C-terminus) because of stop codon substituted to leucine caused by A to T substitution at 737 nt. | |
nad9 | Deficient of 97 aa on 5′ side, however identical to ones in rice, bamboo, maize, sorghum and ryegrass. |
cox1 | Two additional C-terminal aa. |
Wheat cox1 is the same as that of rice and bamboo. | |
atp6 | Low homology at 5′ sidea. |
rps2 | Low homology at 3′ sideb. |
rps4 | Insertion of 78 nt (26 aa) caused by multiple repeat sequences. |
Barley has three of 39 nt repeat sequence, whereas wheat has one of this sequence. | |
rpl5 | Difference of 10 aa on C-terminus. |
Wheat rpl5 is same as that of rice, bamboo and ryegrass. | |
rrn18 | Insertions of 18 nt and 4 nt. |
