RESUMO

We have cloned and sequenced the nad3 and rps12 mithocondrial genes from Coix lacryma-jobi L., whose sequence were found to be similar to the corresponding genes in wheat and maize. In addition, we have indentified a tRNA Ser and a pseudo-tRNA genes on the 5? upstream of nad3, generating a locus organization which is identical to what has been observed in wheat and maize. The locus identification was performed with a heterologous hibridization using the mitochondrial probe orf167 from Marchantia polymorpha. The gene expression was analysed using NoI1hern hybridization and RT -PCR, indicating that nad3 and rps12 gene were cotranscribed in a 1.3 kb RNA molecule. Concernig the RNA editing, we have found 21 and 8 sites in the nad3 and rps12 genes respectively. In general terms, the observed coix mRNA editing has changed the codon identities in such a way that the NAD3- and RPS12- protein aminoacid sequence was kept closer to the corresponding ones in other organisms. However, we have detected three specie-specific editing sites which were not conservative. As for the editing processing, we have analysed 23 cDNA clones which showed different editing pattems. A predominance of partial editing was observed where the edited sites were randomly distributed
