Crosses of Oenothera result in the transmission of chloroplasts from both parents to their offspring. In spite of this biparental inheritance, no wild-type recombinants were recovered from crosses between different chloroplast mutants. Since more than 7500 progeny were examined, the results indicate that recombination between the chloroplast DNAs of higher plants must be a very rare event.
月见草的杂交导致叶绿体从双亲传递给后代。尽管存在这种双亲遗传现象,但在不同叶绿体突变体之间的杂交中未获得野生型重组体。由于检查了超过7500个后代,结果表明高等植物叶绿体DNA之间的重组必定是非常罕见的事件。
