Characterization of Mitochondrial DNA in Citrus1

PMCID: PMC1065954  PMID: 16662743

Abstract

Characterization of mitochondrial DNA from leaves of four species of the genus Citrus by electron microscopy shows the presence of circular molecules with a great size dispersion and absence of discrete size classes. Restriction endonuclease patterns confirm the heterogeneity of the molecules.
