PLMItRNA, a database for higher plant mitochondrial tRNAs and tRNA genes

The PLMItRNA database contains information and multialignments of tRNA gene s and molecules detected in higher plant mitochondria. It has been develope d from a previous compilation of higher plant mitochondrial tRNA genes [Sag liano,A., Volpicella,M., Gallerani,R. and Ceci,L.R. (1998) Nucleic Acids Re s., 26, 154-155] and implemented with data and sequences of tRNA molecules retrieved from the literature. The current version of the database reports information on 171 genes and 16 tRNA molecules from 24 plants. PLMItRNA is accessible via WWW at http://bio-www.ba.cnr.it:8000/srs/.
