Abstract

In the plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne arenaria, isolated rDNA repeats show length heterogeneity, and are unusual in that they contain putative 5S ribosomal RNA pseudogenes [Vahidi et al., J. Mol. Evol. 27 (1988) 222-227]. Potentially functional 5S rRNA-encoding genes can also be identified in various rDNA repeats, which appear to be tandemly organized in the genome.
