Abstract E. coli ribosomal DNA has been used to probe maize mitochondrial DNA. It hybridizes primarily with chloroplast ribosomal DNA sequences and with fungal and bacterial sequences which may contaminate the mtDNA preparations. It also hybridizes to the chloroplast 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence present in the mitochondrial genome (1) as well as to the mitochondrial 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequence. Weak sequence homology was detected between E. coli rDNA and the mitochondrial 26S ribosomal RNA gene.
