Four chloroplast (cp), one mitochondrial (mt), and one ribosomal nuclear (ITS) DNA regions were studied in four artificial and one natural interspecific Passiflora hybrids. The ITS results confirmed their hybrid origin and all mtDNAs were maternally inherited. The same, however, was not true for cpDNA. The four hybrids (three artificial and one natural) derived from species of the Passiflora subgenus showed a cpDNA paternal inheritance, while the one involving taxa of the Decaloba subgenus gave evidence of maternal transmission. These results are of significance for the ongoing studies which are being performed on the molecular evolution of this genus and furnish important background for investigations aimed at clarifying the factors which determine cpDNA inheritance.
在四个人工种间和一个天然种间西番莲杂交种中研究了四个叶绿体(cp)、一个线粒体(mt)和一个核糖体核(ITS)DNA区域。ITS结果证实了它们的杂交起源,并且所有线粒体DNA都是母系遗传的。然而,叶绿体DNA并非如此。来自西番莲亚属物种的四个杂交种(三个人工杂交种和一个天然杂交种)显示叶绿体DNA为父系遗传,而涉及十裂亚属分类群的那个杂交种则显示为母系遗传。这些结果对于正在进行的该属分子进化研究具有重要意义,并为旨在阐明决定叶绿体DNA遗传因素的研究提供了重要背景。
