Abstract

The paper deals with the available results concerning the following problems of transmission genetics of the somatic hybridization process in higher plants: the presence of cytoplasmic heterozygotes among parasexual progeny; the occurrence of selective pressure in the process of mitotic segregation of plasmagenes; the cosegregation of plasmagenes; genetic recombination of plasmagenes; the genetic diversity of cytoplasms generating via somatic cell fusion; the practical possibilities opened by genetic reconstruction of cytoplasm.
