Organelle inheritance in intergeneric hybrids of Festuca pratensis andLolium perenne was investigated by restriction enzyme and Southern blot analyses of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). All F1 hybrids exhibited maternal inheritance of both cpDNA and mtDNA. However, examination...
