Plasticity of Mitochondrial DNA Inheritance and Its Impact on Nuclear Gene Transcription in Yeast Hybrids

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in yeast is biparentally inherited, but colonies rapidly lose one type of parental mtDNA, thus becoming homoplasmic. Therefore, hybrids between the yeast species possess two homologous nuclear genomes, but only one type of mitochondrial DNA. We hypothesise that the choice o...
