Characterization of transcripts containing the glucanase and AP24 sequence of transplastomic plants. (A) Physical map showing expected RNA transcripts from each promoter in transplastomic plants. (*) polycistronic read-through transcript (4.5 kb), (**) tricistronic transcript (2.9 kb). (***), dicistronic transcript (1.8 kb). AP24 probe and Glucanase probe are indicated. (B) Northern blot using glucanase (left panel) and AP24 (right panel) probes showing transcript generation. *Policistronic, **tricistronic, ***dicistronic, and endogenous glucanase and AP24 mRNAs (
