Considerable evidence exists which is consistent with the picture that the chloroplast system of E1uglcna is unider autonomous genietic control. This includes studies of ultraviolet inactivationi anid photoreactivation of chloroplast inheritanice (7, 10. 13, 14) and the demonlstration of a unique species of chloroplast-associated DNA (3, 4, s5, 9, 11). Evidence has been presented for distinct chloroplast-associated RNA, in additioni to the usual niuclear DNA anid cvtollasmnic RNA (2, 6). In this communicationi we l)rovide ad(litionial evidence for the localization of DNA in the chloroplasts.
