The Oenothera mitochondrial genome contains only a gene fragment for ribosomal protein S12 (rps12), while other plants encode a functional gene in the mitochondrion. The complete Oenothera rps12 gene is located in the nucleus. The transit sequence necessary to target this protein to the mitochondrion is encoded by a 5'-extension of the open reading frame. Comparison of the amino acid sequence e...

This appendix provides additional methodological details not found in the text. The structure follows that of the “Methods” section (“Species and Sites,” “Plant Demography,” “Seed Demography,” “Population Models,” “Testing Predictions of Bet Hedging”), followed by two sections not identified separately in the text: “Generating Confidence Intervals for Growth Rates” and “Temporal Autocorrelation...
