Abstract excerpt
Transplasmic lines, in which the original mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) had been completely replaced by the mtDNA of the donor, were constructed to test for selection on mtDNA variants and to investigate the effects of nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions in Drosophila simulans. These lines were used to set up 12 experimental populations putting in competition two mtDNA variants with two different starting frequencies....
