Abstract excerpt

Nuclear recessive mutations at the chloroplast mutator (CHM) locus of Arabidopsis produce a variegated phenotype that is inherited in a non-Mendelian fashion. Molecular analysis of the cytoplasmic genomes of variegated plants from two independent chm mutant lines, using specific chloroplast and m...
