Abstract excerpt
A PCR analysis of mitochondrial (mt) genomes of cybrid rapeseed plants revealed substoichiometric concentrations of molecules bearing different configurations of the gene (orf138) responsible for Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). These substoichiometric molecules are also present in plants bearing the unmodified Ogura cytoplasm. In one cybrid family, which shows reversion of the male sterile phenotype, we...
