Abstract excerpt
The inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in yeast hybrids is heteroplasmic, turning into homoplasmic after few cell cycles. Mitotype restoration is reported to be biparental and random. This study shows that mitotype restoration follows fixed schemata. We created isogenic, interspecific Saccharomyces cerevisiae × Saccharomyces uvarum hybrids through direct mating and analysed their mating frequency and...
