The nucleotide sequences of soybean chloroplast tRNAsLeu were determined using post-labeling techniques. Comparison of the primary structures of soybean chloroplast tRNAsLeu with their bean, maize and spinach counterparts only show few base differences. Contrary to previously published results (1) a re-examination of bean tRNALeu sequence shows that this tRNA resembles soybean and maize
in structures.
