Abstract
Paternal inheritance of chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA in incense-cedar (Calocedrusdecurrens (Torr.) Florin (Cupressaceae)) controlled crosses was demonstrated using restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The only other plant species for which paternal inheritance of both organelle genomes has been reported is Sequoiasempervirens (D. Don) Endl., a member of the family Taxodiaceae, which is thought to be closely related to the Cupressaceae. These taxa differ from the family Pinaceae, where chloroplast DNA is predominately paternally inherited and mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited.
