EXTRANUCLEAR BARRIERS TO INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN OENOTHERA HOOKERI AND OENOTHERA ARGILLICOLA

Twin Hybrids of Oenothera Hookeri

The researches of MORGAN on lethal factors, of BARTLETT on mass mutation, and of RENNER on empty seeds, have led me of late to the conception that lethal factors and hybrid mutants play a large part in the splitting phenomena which accompany the normal mutations of so many species of Oenothera. The question, which part of those phenomena may be explained by this view, has to be faced. The cross...

Investigation of interspecific genome-plastome incompatibility in Oenothera and Passiflora

Growing evening primroses (Oenothera)

The model plant Oenothera has contributed significantly to the biological sciences and it dominated the early development of plant genetics, cytogenetics, and evolutionary biology. The great advantage of using Oenothera as a model system is a large body of genetic, cytological, morphological, and ecological information collected over more than a century. The Oenothera system offers a well-studi...

Oenothera Plastome Mutator-Induced Chloroplast Mutant1

Plastids were isolated from a plastome mutator-induced mutant (pm7) of Oenothera hookeri and were analyzed for various physiological and biochemical attributes. No photosynthetic electron transport activity was detected in the mutant plastids. This is consistent with previous ultrastructural analysis showing the absence of thylakoid membranes in the pm7 plastids and with the observation of aber...
