Abstract excerpt
The DNA content of individual mitochondria in rice root cells was analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. Differences in DNA content were detected between individual mitochondria. Some mitochondria contained no detectable nucleoid (DNA-protein complexes). The percent of mitochondria with DAPI(4',6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole) -stained nucleoids varied over the length of the root (root base, 33%; middle portion of root,...
