| Abstract: | Organelle inheritance in intergeneric hybrids of Festuca pratensis and Lolium perenne was investigated by restriction enzyme and Southern blot analyses of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). All F1 hybrids exhibited maternal inheritance of both cpDNA and mtDNA. However, examination of backcross hybrids, obtained by backcrossing the intergeneric F1 hybrids to L. Perenne, indicated that both uniparental maternal organelle inheritance and uniparental paternal organelle inheritance can occur in different backcross hybrids. |
