Abstract excerpt
The Mitchell variety of Petunia hybrida possesses a superfamily of actin genes which contains between 100 and 200 members that can be divided into at least six highly divergent subfamilies. The segregation of restriction fragment length polymorphisms among 96 plants from two backcrosses between the Violet 23 and Red 51 Petunia varieties and the Violet 23 x Red 51 hybrid was examined using gene-specific probes...
