We have isolated a mitochondrial rps7 gene from sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L. cv. TK81‐O). It is present in a single genomic environment, with northern blot analysis showing transcription of this gene. Sequence analysis of RT‐PCR‐derived cDNA of rps7 showed that three RNA‐editing events occurred on rps7 mRNAs. As far as we know, this is the first report of the complete identification of the RNA editing of a mitochondrial rps7 in the angiosperms.
