Received February 11, 1982. Accepted March 8, 1982.
The 4.5S rRNA was isolated from the chloroplast ribosomes from Dryopteris acuminata. The complete nucleotide sequence was determined to be: OHUAAGGUCACGGCAAGACGAGCCGUUUAUCACCACGAUAGGUGCUAAGUGGAGGUGCAGUAAUGUAUGCAGCUGAGGCAUCCUAAUAGACCGAGAGGUUUGAACOH. The 4.5S rRNA is composed of 103 nucleotides and shows strong homology with those from flowering plants.
