Paternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA in the sheep (Ovine aries)
Paternal inheritance of mitochondria DNA in sheep was discovered by examination of 152 sheep from 38 hybrid families for mtDNA D-loop polymorphisms...

Gender-associated mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy in the venerid clam Tapes philippinarum (Mollusca Bivalvia)
This paper provides evidence of a gender-associated mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) heteroplasmy in the clam Tapes philippinarum . The pattern of tissue...

Marine Surfaces and the Expression of Specific Byssal Adhesive Protein Variants in
Mytilus Mytilus foot protein-3 (Mfp-3) is a highly polymorphic protein family located in the byssal adhesive plaques of blue mussels. Previous evidence...

Hybridization between the blue mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. trossulus along the Pacific coast of North America: evidence for limited introgression
Two species of blue mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. trossulus , co-occur and hybridize along the Pacific coast of North America. Using a set...

Morphological variation of Mytilus edulis and Mytilus trossulus in eastern Newfoundland
Allopatric populations of Mytilus species show distinct shell morphology which may be due to genetic and/or environmental effects. Sympatric...

Uniparental Inheritance of Chloroplast Genomes
An intriguing feature of most eukaryotes is that chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes are inherited almost exclusively from one parent. This can be...

Gender-associated diverse mitochondrial DNA molecules of the mussel Mytilus californianus
The Pacific-rim, dioecious bivalve Mytilus californianus contains two distinct sequence types of mitochondrial (mt) DNA that are gender-limited in...

Mitochondrial gene variation in Mercenaria clam sibling species reveals a relict secondary contact zone in the western Gulf of Mexico
We investigated phylogeographic relationships among American Mercenaria taxa by assessing variation in a 444 nucleotide fragment of the mitochondrial...

Distribution of male and female mtDNA lineages in populations of blue mussels, Mytilus trossulus and M. galloprovincialis, along the Pacific coast of North America
Geographic variation in mitochondrial large subunit (16S) ribosomal RNA haplotypes was examined for blue mussels, Mytilus trossulus Gould, 1850 and M....

Two copies of a DNA element, ‘Wendy’, in the chloroplast chromosome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii between rearranged gene clusters
We have characterized two copies of a 2.4 kb DNA element that we call ‘Wendy’, in the chloroplast chromosome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii . The two...

Organelle Genetics and Transformation of Chlamydomonas
Of the more than 400 species of unicellular green algae in the genus Chlamydomonas (Ettl, 1976), only a few have been used for genetic...

Biochemical Mechanisms of Resistance to Photosystem II Herbicides
Photosystem II herbicides bind to the D1 protein of the reaction centre of photosystem II. Resistance to these herbicides in plants is confined...

A nuclear mutant of Chlamydomonas that exhibits increased sensitivity to UV irradiation, reduced recombination of nuclear genes, and altered transmission of chloroplast genes
Meiotic progeny of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii normally receive chloroplast genomes only from the mt + parent. However, exceptional zygotes, which...

Transmission and recombination of chloroplast genes in asexual crosses of Chlamydomonas reinhardii
Chlamydomonas reinhardii diploids homozygous for the plus mating-type ( mt + ) allele were constructed via polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced cell...

Mitochondrial genetics of Coprinus: Recombination of mitochondrial genomes
The formation of the sexual mycelium or dikaryon in the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus involves exchange and migration of nuclei without...

Molecular Genetic Aspects of Yeast Mitochondria
Mitochondria are organelles comprising a fundamental and characteristic feature of eukaryotic cytoplasm. The familiar basic structural theme of outer...

Transmission of chloroplast alleles in somatic fusion products obtained from vegetative cells and/or ‘Gametes’ of Chlamydomonas reinhardi
Somatic fusion between cells of Chlamydomonas containing complementing cell wall and auxotrophic mutations and bearing chloroplast markers for...

Map** of chloroplast genes involved in chloroplast ribosome biogenesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Chloroplast gene mutations which confer antibiotic resistance on chloroplast ribosomes of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been tested...
