We have isolated and determined the DNA sequence of several genes from the nucleus of rice (Oryza sativa, IR26). We screened a genomic library of rice IR26 and isolated a 14.8 kb segment containing an H3 gene and an H3-like pseudogene. Sequence analysis showed that the coding sequence of the rice H3 gene is 405 bp in length, and the 5’ and 3’ noncoding regions contain several regulatory sequences common to eukaryotic or histone genes. The codon usage of the rice H3 gene is highly unusual in that the third codon position is 98% G and C. Southern blotting analysis suggested that the copy number of the H3 gene is around 50 per diploid rice genuine. From the same rice geaomic library, we have identified rbcS, which codes for the small subunit of ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco). The rbcS sequence is interrupted by an intron at the same location in both rice and wheat. The first 18 amino acids of the transit peptide in rice and wheat rbcS are identical
