{{Short description|InterPro family}}
The [chloroplast](/source/chloroplast) [NADH](/source/NADH) [dehydrogenase](/source/dehydrogenase) F ('''''ndh''F''') [gene](/source/gene) is found in all [vascular plant](/source/vascular_plant) [divisions](/source/phylum) and is highly [conserved](/source/conserved_sequence).  Its [DNA](/source/Chloroplast_DNA) fragment resides in the small single-copy region of the chloroplast genome, and is thought to encode a [hydrophobic](/source/hydrophobic) [protein](/source/protein) containing 664 [amino acids](/source/amino_acids) and to have a  mass of 72.9 [kDa](/source/kDa).<ref>{{cite journal|last=Neyland|first=Ray|author2=Lowell E.

== Application ==

The ''ndh''F fragment has been a very useful tool in [phylogenetic](/source/phylogenetic) reconstruction at a number of [taxonomic](/source/Taxonomy_(biology)) levels.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Dong|first=Wenpan|author2=Jing Liu |author3=Jing Yu |author4=Ling Wang |author5=Shiliang Zhou |title=Highly Variable Chloroplast Markers for Evaluating Plant Phylogeny at Low Taxonomic Levels and for DNA Barcoding|journal=PLOS ONE|volume=7|issue=4|article-number=e35071|date=2012|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0035071|pmid=22511980|bibcode=2012PLoSO...735071D |pmc=3325284|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name="Patterson 2002">{{cite journal|last=Patterson |first=T.
