Paternal Inheritance of Mitochondrial DNA in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 18:31-33 (article 14) 1995 S. Matsuura Tohoku Seed Company, 1625 Himuro, Nishihara, Utsunomiya 321-32, Japan Linkage analysis has been performed in cucumber using RFLP markers and the acr locus (5). At that time, almost all of the RFLP clones segregated in Mendelian ratios, except for two genomic clones (B-174 and P-146) […]
