Abstract excerpt

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and the abnormal-growth, nochromosomal stripe (NCS) phenotypes are cytoplasmically determined traits in plants. Mitochondrial DNA rearrangements involving short repeats appear to be responsible for the production of CMS reversions to fertility and NCS mutations. N...
