Summary
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used to determine the transmission of organelle genomes in somatic hybrid plants of tomato and its wild relativeSolanum lycopersicoides. Biased frequencies of organelle combinations were observed in a population of 70 somatic hybrid plants each derived from a separate callus. The plastids in 68 of 70 hybrids examined were fromL. esculentum. One of the remaining hybrids, plant 240, hadS. lycopersicoides plastids and the other, plant 63, had a mixture of parental plastids. Forty-six of the same 70 plants were analyzed for mtDNA and all had that ofS. lycopersicoides including plant 240. One of these hybrids had novel mtDNA fragments which mayhave resulted from recombination or rearrangement. The biased transmission may have resulted from an initial unequal input of organelles, differential replication of organelles, or nucleo-organelle incompatibility.
