Interactions between nuclear and cytoplasmic genes affect plant phenotype
Zubko et al. (pp. 281-288) demonstrate that genetic re-composition of tobacco cytoplasm via distant cybridization with henbane induces a wide range of maternally inherited phenotypic alterations in flower and leaf morphology. Combining parasexual hybridization and conventional backcrossing is considered to be a promising approach for generating genetic variability.
