We found 4.5 S rRNAs in chloroplasts from a leafy liverwort, Jungermannia subulata , as well as a thalloid liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha , and determined their complete nucleotide sequences. That from J. subulata was 100 nucleotides long and that from M. polymorpha was 103. They were strongly homologous with those from higher plants, a fern, Dryopteris acuminata , and a moss, Mnium rugicum . This similarity of chloroplast 4.5 S rRNA sequences may be used for construction of the phylogenic tree among the green plants.
