The base sequence of Spirodela oligorhiza chloroplast DNA coding for 4.5S and 5S ribosomal RNA, the flanking regions and the spacer between these two genes has been determined. We have compared these sequences with the corresponding ones in other higher plants. Besides a high degree of homology, some interesting differences are found.
