Fifteen interspecific hybrids of Serbian spruce (Piceaomorika (Panc) Purkyne) and white spruce (Piceaglauca (Moench) Voss) representing five separate crosses, including reciprocals, were used to demonstrate maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA. Total DNA was extracted from foliage samples of Serbian spruce (S), white spruce (W), and both S(♂) × W(♀) and W(♂) × S(♀) hybrids, digested and probed with one of two maize mitochondrial genes, ATPaseα or COXII. ATPaseα generated diagnostic Serbian and white spruce genotypes for all five enzymes tested, while COXII differentiated between the two species for four of five enzymes. Maternal inheritance was indicated in all hybrids for every diagnostic enzyme–probe combination. No paternal or nonparental bands were detected. A dilution experiment indicated that the Serbian and white spruce mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms could be detected in as little as 60 and 500 ng of total DNA, respectively. It appears that the mechanism that controls the inheritance of mitochondria in Picea is still functional in wide interspecific crosses.

Paternal inheritance of chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA in incense-cedar (Calocedrusdecurrens (Torr.) Florin (Cupressaceae)) controlled crosses was demonstrated using restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The only other plant species for which paternal inheritance of both organelle genomes has been reported is Sequoiasempervirens (D. Don) Endl., a member of the family Taxodiaceae, which is thought to be closely related to the Cupressaceae. These taxa differ from the family Pinaceae, where chloroplast DNA is predominately paternally inherited and mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited.

SummaryBy designing 3′ ends of primers in PCR (polymerase chain reaction), a specific DNA fragment was selectively amplified in the presence of a 103-fold excess of highly homologous (sequence difference ca. 2 %) opponent DNA. This technique was applied in detecting paternal leakage of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in intraspecific crosses of Drosophila simulans and interspecific crosses of Drosophila simulans and Drosophila mauritiana. The mtDNA types of their progeny were analysed by selective amplification of the paternal mtDNA fragment possessing a polymorphic restriction site and detecting its cleaved fragments. Paternal mtDNA was detected in the progeny of 14 out of 16 crosses. The present result indicates small but frequent inheritance of sperm mtDNA in Drosophila, which is supportive to our previous finding.
