Abstract excerpt

Uniparental inheritance of Chlamydomonas chloroplast genes is thought to involve modification of maternal (mt+) chloroplast genomes to protect against a nuclease that is activated after gamete fusion. The mating-type limited mtl-1 mutant strain of Chlamydomonas monoica is unable to protect mt(+)-...
