Abstract excerpt
Five haploid amoebal strains of the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum, each with a distinct mitochondrial genotype, were crossed in all pairwise combinations. The mitochondrial genotype in the diploid plasmodia resulting from these isogamous matings were found to be transmitted uniparentally. This uniparental inheritance could be arranged in a dominant hierarchical order. Time-course analysis of the presence of...
