Abstract

The study of linear mitochondrial plasmids: function in intact mays plants. The experimental results obtained as well as the data of other authors permit to presume both the mitochondrial and the nuclear DNAs increase the cell vitality when S1 and S2 mitochondrial plasmids are integrated.
