Abstract: | Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from cell suspension cultures of two intergeneric somatic hybrids of Pennisetum americanum (pearl millet) + Saccharum officinarum (sugarcane) was examined by restriction endonuclease digestion and hybridization with sorghum mtDNA cosmids. The mtDNA of one somatic hybrid was indistinguishable from that of pearl millet, while the second exhibited a combination of parental mtDNAs, suggesting mitochondrial fusion. Several novel, possibly recombinant, mtDNA restriction fragments were detected in this hybrid, which may have resulted from intergenmic recombination.Florida Agriculture Experiment Station Journal Series No: 8090. |
