Abstract excerpt
A WF9 strain of maize with the RD subtype of the S male-sterile cytoplasm (CMS-S) was converted to the inbred M825 nuclear background by recurrent backcrossing. The organization of the mitochondrial genomes of the F1 and succeeding backcross progenies was analyzed and compared with the progenitor RD-WF9 using probes derived from the S1 and S2 mitochondrial episomes, and probes containing the genes for cytochrome...
