The size of the mitochondrial genome from the fertile cytoplasm of maize has been determined by restriction mapping to be 570 kb. The entire sequence complexity of the genome can be represented on a single circular DNA species (the 'master circle'). The presence of reiterated sequences, active in recombination, results in a complex multipartite organisation.
通过限制性酶切图谱分析确定,玉米可育细胞质中线粒体基因组的大小为570 kb。该基因组的整个序列复杂性可由单一环状DNA分子(“主环”)来表示。重复序列的存在及其在重组中的活性导致了复杂的多部分结构。
