Abstract excerpt
Heteroplasmy in coding chloroplast DNA was only recently shown to occur and was so far not quantitatively assessed. We present a quantitative analysis of cpDNA heteroplasmy levels at a triazine-resistance determining site within and between individual Senecio vulgaris plants. Detectable levels of heteroplasmic haplotypes were observed in all tested plants. As expected, the levels of heteroplasmy vary greatly...
