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.

Forty-four isolates consisting of Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. f.sp. glycines Roy, Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli (Burkholder) W.C. Snyder & H.N. Hans., and F. solani, collected from a variety of hosts and locations, were compared based on pathogenicity on soybean and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). The 24 isolates of F. solani f.sp. glycines caused more severe sudden death syndrome (SDS) foliar symptoms and root rot on soybean compared with all other isolates. All isolates of F. solani f.sp. glycines belonged to a single mtDNA RFLP haplotype. The other isolates of F. solani belonged to nine mtDNA RFLP haplotypes distinct from that of the SDS pathogen and did not cause significant levels of SDS. Three isolates of F. solani f.sp. phaseoli in a single mtDNA RFLP haplotype were very similar to isolates of F. solani f.sp. glycines in culture. One of these isolates consistently produced SDS-like symptoms in pathogenicity tests, although at a low frequency. Fusarium solani f.sp. glycines represent a genetically distinct subgroup within F. solani but may be related to F. solani f.sp. phaseoli.Key words: Fusarium solani f.sp. phaseoli, Glycine max, sudden death syndrome (SDS), mtDNA.
