Comparative analysis of mitochondrial DNA

Patterns of EcoRI and BamHI restriction fragments are shown in
Fig.1. According to the obtained data mt DNA of the alloplasmic wheat (cereale)-Lt62 was similar to that of maternal rye var. Vyatka. Varieties of rye had shown different patterns of mt DNA (Fig.1A). Differences between Lt62 and var. Vyatka concerned only the glow intensity of some fragments, but not their quantity. At least the majority of plants of this alloplasmic wheat is supposed to contain mt DNA of the maternal rye variety. Two selected lines 92 and 96 from this alloplasmic wheat Lt62 were investigated for heterogeneity in organelle DNA. The data had shown that the line 92 contained the typical rye mt DNA of Vyatka, while the line 96 differed from wheat and rye.

Mt DNA of the 555 hybrid was similar neither to wheat nor rye mt DNA. It had both unique and similar parental fragments. More probable explanation of these data is biparental inheritance of mt DNA and as a result of this the development of mt DNA diversity among hybrid plants, which contained molecules of both parents and recombinant ones.

The lines isolated from hybrids (cereale)-Lt62 x T. aestivum cv. Leningradka had differential mt DNA. L1 and L2 lines were similar to each other, but had mt DNA different from that of rye, wheat and hybrid 555. L3 lines had the same mt DNA as maternal lines as is shown by both restriction enzymes.

All three lines isolated from hybrid (cereale)-Lt62 x T. aestivum cv. Ledovka contained mt DNA pattern identical with male but not female parents.


Comparative analysis of chloroplast DNA

Patterns of restriction fragments of ct DNA are shown in
Fig. 2. Ct DNA of alloplasmic wheat Lt62 with S. cereale cytoplasm was not different in number and distribution of their fragments from its female parent rye variety Vyatka. However, the lines isolated form this alloplasmic wheat differed from each other. The line 92 had rye ct DNA, the line 96 had ct DNA similar to wheat.

Ct DNA of the hybrid 555
as its mt DNA was unique and probably a mixture of both parental DNAs and/or alternated molecules.

Three lines originated from hybrid (cereale)-Lt62 x Ledovka had ct DNA of wheat type (EcoRI and BamHI), but three lines originated from hybrid (cereale)-Lt62 x Leningradka had ct DNA of an alternated type at least as is shown by BamHI.
