Abstract excerpt
We studied whether the monokaryotic chloroplast (moc) mutation affects the transmission of chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA in Chlamydomonas species. We used a previously isolated moc mutant from our cell line G33, which had only one large chloroplast nucleus. To obtain zygotes, we crossed the mutant cells with wild-type cells, and mutant cells with receptive mates (females [mt+] with males [mt-]). In these...
