High impact information on atpB

Efficient recombination between atpB repeats deletes the intervening foreign genes and 1,984 bp of plastid DNA (co-ordinates 57,424-59,317) containing the rbcL gene [1].
We used aadA-based transformation to duplicate a 649 bp region of plastid DNA corresponding to the atpB promoter region [1].
In contrast to NEP promoters of many other plastid genes, the tobacco atpB NEP promoter exhibits robust activity in chloroplasts in vivo [2].
