Received November 9, 1983. Accepted December 23, 1983.
Using 3'- and 5'-end labelling sequencing techniques, the following Sesequence for the cytoplasmic 5S rRNA of the horsetail Equisetum arvense could be determined: pGUGGUGCGGUCAUACCAGCGCUAAUGCACCGGAUCCCAUCAGAACUCCGCAGUIJA AGCGCGCUUGGGCCAGAACAGUACUGGGAUGGGUGACCUCCCGGGAAGUCCUGGUGCCGCACCCCOH. This sequence exhthits all features expected for higher plant cytoplasmic 5S rRNAs, and can be fitted to the secondary structure model for 5S rRNA proposed by De Wachter et al. (15).
