Four chloroplast 4.5 S rRNAs were isolated from the respective plant leaves by a simple method. The complete nucleotide sequences were determined using rapid gel sequencing techniques. The sequences are highly conserved among chloroplast 4.5 S rRNAs. The 4.5 S rRNAs of celery, Chinese chive and dayflower are 103 nucleotides long and that of barley 95 nucleotides long. The 7‐nucleotide sequence from position 28–34 is absent in monocotyledon barley 4.5 S rRNA but is present in monocotyledon Chinese chive and day‐flower.
