We cloned and sequenced a portion of chloroplast DNA from the hornwort
Anthoceros formosae. A nucleotide sequence of 7556 bp contained structures
similar to those of ndhK, ndhC, trnV, trnM, atpE, atpB, rbcL, trnR and
accD. The arrangement of these was the same as that of other chloroplast
DNA. However, two nonsense codons were located within the putative coding
region of rbcL, although they were used as putative termination codons of
the genes. RNA was extensively edited in the transcripts of rbcL when cDNA
sequences were analyzed. The unusual nonsense codons of TGA and TAA became
CGA and CAA respectively. These are examples of U to C type RNA editing,
which was never been found before in chloroplast mRNA. In general, 13 Cs of
genomic DNA were found as Ts in the cDNA sequence and seven Ts were found
as Cs. This is the first finding of RNA editing on the transcripts of rbcL
and also in bryophytes. This event had been thought to arise in land plants
after the split of bryophytes. The origin of RNA editing is discussed in
relation to the landing of green plants.
