Abstract excerpt
The inheritance of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) in Leucadendron species was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. A total of 100 progeny from five interspecific crosses involving seven parental species were tested, and all progeny exhibited the cpDNA restriction fragment pattern of the female parent, indicating that cpDNA in Leucadendron is maternally...
