In nearly all eukaryotes, at least some individuals inherit mitochondrial and chloroplast
genes from only one parent. There is no single mechanism of uniparental inheritance …

Most heritable information in eukaryotic cells is encoded in the nuclear genome, with
inheritance patterns following classic Mendelian segregation. Genomes residing in the …

Interpopulation gene flow in plants is mediated by a combination of pollen and seed
dispersal. The effectiveness of pollen and seeds in bringing about gene flow depends upon …

Cytoplasmic organelles are inherited in a nonMendelian fashion in all eukaryotic organisms
investigated. Among the seed plants, plastids can be inherited strictly from the female …

Most angiosperms are thought to share strict maternal inheritance of both plastids and
mitochondria. Exceptions have been described and analysed, especially for plastids …

Range‐wide variation of maritime pine was studied at maternally inherited and paternally
inherited markers (mitochondrial DNA and chloroplast DNA). While chloroplast DNA exhibits …

Understanding the present-day distribution of molecular variation requires knowledge about
the history of the species. Past colonization routes and locations of refugia of Scots pine …

The conifers are a diverse and ancient group of seed plants of monophyletic origin that
arose more than 300 million years ago (Rothwell and Scheckler 1988). They are uniformly …

In plants three modes of inheritance (transmission) of plasmatic organelles-plastids and
mitochondria--are found:(1) uniparental maternal,(2) biparental and (3) uniparental paternal …

Plant mitochondrial genomes are usually transmitted to the progeny from the maternal
parent. However, cases of paternal transmission are known and are perhaps more common …
