- Abstract
Restriction endonuclease digestion analysis was used to determine the mode of inheritance of organelle DNAs In Intraspecific reciprocal crosses of (PI 27890) X (PI 290136) and in Interspecific crosses of (‘Clark’) X (PI 65549). Parents were selected on the basis of characteristic chloroplast-DNA restriction fragment patterns when digested with the enzyme Clal. Chloroplast DNA-enriched DNA samples were prepared from 2-week-old seedlings of the reciprocal hybrids and the respective parents. DNA was digested with the endonuclease Clal and electrophoresed on agarose gels. The restriction fragment pattern of the hybrid progeny was identical to that of the maternal parent in each case. Intermediate fragment patterns, indicative of biparental inheritance, were not observed, thus demonstrating maternal transmission of chloroplast DNA within the genus , subgenus .
