1. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) insertion sites in diverse maize lines
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) insertion sites in diverse maize lines. mtDNA was hybridized to the chromosomes of diverse maize lines using a 19-cosmid mix probe.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) insertion sites in diverse maize lines. mtDNA was hybridized to the chromosomes of diverse maize lines using a 19-cosmid mix probe. Sites of mtDNA hybridization are shown in white. Chromosomes were identified using a mix of eight karyotyping probes (shown in color). Chromosome on left: karyotyping probes and mtDNA probes. Chromosome on right: mtDNA probes only. White arrowheads indicate mtDNA insertions. (A) Stiff stalk maize lines. (B) Nonstiff stalk maize lines. (C) Popcorn maize line. (D) Sweet corn maize lines. (E) Tropical/subtropical maize lines. (F) Maize line of mixed background. Chromosomes from the lines B73, B37, and Mo17 are reproduced with permission (from Genetics; Lough et al. 2008). Scale = 10 μm.
