Abstract
Plastid genomes (plastomes) of land plants have a conserved quadripartite structure in a gene-dense unit genome consisting of a large inverted repeat that separates two single copy regions. Recently, alternative plastome structures were suggested in Geraniaceae and in some conifers and Medicago the coexistence of inversion isomers has been noted. In this study, plastome sequences of two Cyperaceae, Eleocharis dulcis (water chestnut) and Eleocharis cellulosa (gulf coast spikerush), were completed. Unlike the conserved plastomes in basal groups of Poales, these Eleocharis plastomes have remarkably divergent features, including large plastome sizes, high rates of sequence rearrangements, low GC content and gene density, gene duplications and losses, and increased repetitive DNA sequences. A novel finding among these features was the unprecedented level of heteroplasmy with the presence of multiple plastome structural types within a single individual. Illumina paired-end assemblies combined with PacBio single-molecule real-time sequencing, long-range polymerase chain reaction, and Sanger sequencing data identified at least four different plastome structural types in both Eleocharis species. PacBio long read data suggested that one of the four E. dulcis plastome types predominates.

Abstract
Eragrostis tef is an important cereal crop in Ethiopia with excellent storage properties, high–quality food, and the unique ability to thrive in extreme environmental conditions. However, the application of advanced molecular tools for breeding and conservation of these species is extremely limited. Therefore, developing chloroplast genome resources and high-resolution molecular markers are valuable to E. tef population and biogeographic studies. In the current study, we assembled and compared the complete plastomes of 32 E. tef accessions. The size of the plastomes ranged from 134,349 to 134,437 bp with similar GC content (∼38.3%). Genomes annotations revealed 112 individual genes, including 77 protein-coding, 31 tRNA, and 4 rRNA genes. Comparison of E. tef plastomes revealed a low degree of intraspecific sequence variations and no structural differentiations. Furthermore, we found 34 polymorphic sites (13 cpSSRs, 12 InDels, and 9 SNPs) that can be used as valuable DNA barcodes. Among them, the majority (88%) of the polymorphic sites were identified in the noncoding genomic regions. Nonsynonymous (ka) and synonymous (ks) substitution analysis showed that all PCGs were under purifying selection (ka/ks <1). The phylogenetic analyses of the whole plastomes and polymorphic region sequences were able to distinguish the accession from the southern population, indicating its potential to be used as a super-barcode. In conclusion, the newly generated plastomes and polymorphic markers developed here could be a useful genomic resource in molecular breeding, population genetics and the biogeographical study of E. tef.

Abstract
The chloroplast genome usually has a quadripartite structure consisting of a large single copy region and a small single copy region separated by two long inverted repeats. It has been known for some time that a single cell may contain at least two structural haplotypes of this structure, which differ in the relative orientation of the single copy regions. However, the methods required to detect and measure the abundance of the structural haplotypes are labor-intensive, and this phenomenon remains understudied. Here, we develop a new method, Cp-hap, to detect all possible structural haplotypes of chloroplast genomes of quadripartite structure using long-read sequencing data. We use this method to conduct a systematic analysis and quantification of chloroplast structural haplotypes in 61 land plant species across 19 orders of Angiosperms, Gymnosperms, and Pteridophytes. Our results show that there are two chloroplast structural haplotypes which occur with equal frequency in most land plant individuals. Nevertheless, species whose chloroplast genomes lack inverted repeats or have short inverted repeats have just a single structural haplotype. We also show that the relative abundance of the two structural haplotypes remains constant across multiple samples from a single individual plant, suggesting that the process which maintains equal frequency of the two haplotypes operates rapidly, consistent with the hypothesis that flip-flop recombination mediates chloroplast structural heteroplasmy. Our results suggest that previous claims of differences in chloroplast genome structure between species may need to be revisited.

Abstract
A YAC library was constructed from the Beta vulgaris fragment addition AN5-203b. This monosomic fragment addition harbors an approximate 12-Mbp fragment of B.patellaris chromosome 1 accomodating the Hs1 (pat-1) conferring resistance to the beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii). The YAC library consists of 20,000 YAC clones having an average size of 140 kb. Screening with organelle-specific probes showed that 12% of the clones contain chloroplast DNA while only 0.2% of the clones hybridizes with a mitochondrial specific probe. On the basis of a sugar beet haploid genome size of 750 Mbp this library represents 3.3 haploid genome equivalents. The addition fragment present in AN5-203b harbors a major satellite DNA cluster that is tightly linked to the Hs1 (pat-1) locus. The cluster is located on a single 250-kb EcoRI restriction fragment and consists of an estimated 700-800 copies of a 159-bp core sequence, most of which are arranged in tandem. Using this core sequence as a probe, we were able to isolate 1 YAC clone from the library that contains the entire 250-kb satellite DNA cluster.

Abstract
The mitochondria of chive plants with normal N or male-sterile S cytoplasms have been examined by restriction fragment analysis and Southern hybridizations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and in organello protein biosynthesis. Restriction fragment patterns of the mtDNA differed extensively between N-and S-cytoplasms. The percentage of fragments with different mobility varied between 44-48% depending on the restriction enzyme used. In contrast to mtDNA, the restriction fragment patterns of the chloropolast DNA from N- and S-cytoplasms were identical. The organization of the analyzed mitochondrial genes coxII, coxIII, nad1 and nad3 was different in N- and S-cytoplasms. Comparison of mitochondrial proteins analyzed by in organello translation revealed an 18-kDa protein present only in S-cytoplasm. The restorer gene X suppressed the synthesis of that protein in S-cytoplasm. Thus, the 18-kDa protein seems to be associated with the cytoplasmic male-sterile phenotype.

Abstract
The induction, growth and regeneration of sugar beet callus to whole plants were all found to be highly genotype-specific. Regenerants of one line (of sterile cytoplasm) were obtained and a study of the chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA in these somaclones was undertaken by gel electrophoresis and cosmid hybridization. In one somaclone a rearrangement in the mitochondrial genome was observed; the novel arrangement of this part of the genome was identical to the corresponding area of the genome of the normal cytoplasm though it was otherwise of sterile type. This suggests that mitochondrial DNA may have a propensity to undergo certain types of rearrangement.

Abstract
Five somatic hybrids between Brassica campestris and B. oleracea were obtained. Molecular, morphological and cytological information all suggest that the resynthesized B. napus plants were hybrids. All five plants were diploid (2n=38) and had mainly bivalents at meiosis. Seedset was low after selfing but normal after crossing with B. napus. Molecular proof of the hybrid nature of these plants was obtained by hybridization of a rDNA repeat to total DNA. Analysis of chloroplast DNA restriction patterns revealed that all hybrids had chloroplasts identical to the B. oleracea parent. The analysis of mitochondrial DNA indicated that three hybrids had restriction patterns identical to those of B. campestris, and the other two had restriction patterns similar to those of B. oleracea. The 11.3 kb plasmid present in mitochondria of the B. campestris parent was also found in mitochondria of all five hybrids. This suggests that the plasmid from a B. campestris type of mitochondria was transferred into mitochondria of a B. oleracea type.

Abstract
A phyletic tree of the genus Beta has been constructed based on EcoRI and PstI plastid DNA restriction patterns of eight species from three sections of the genus. In contrast to the remarkable morphological variability of the varieties of B. vulgaris the restriction patterns of the plastid DNA of this species were found to be almost identical. The comparison of plastic DNAs of B. vulgaris crassa fertile and sterile lines with 13 different restriction enzymes revealed only a single fragment polymorphism in the HindIII patterns. Hybridization analyses in the plastidal rDNA region revealed an interesting loss of an EcoRI restriction site in all cultivated B. vulgaris varieties in contrast to wild species. The results of the construction of clone banks for SalI and BamHI fragments of plastid DNA from fertile B. vulgaris crassa are reported and difficulties in the cloning of specific fragments are discussed.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic genes of crop species exhibit non-Mendelian inheritance and affect quantitative traits such as biomass and grain yield. Photosynthesis and respiration are physiological processes responsible, in part, for the expression of such quantitative traits and are regulated by enzymes encoded in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Cytoplasmic genes are located in the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. Unlike the nuclear genome, the cytoplasmic genomes consist of single, circular, double-stranded molecules of DNA, and in many crop species, the cytoplasmic genomes are inherited solely through the maternal parent. Maternal inheritance of cytoplasmic genomes and Mendelian inheritance of the nuclear genome were used to model the genotypic value of an individual. The model then was utilized to derive genetic variances and covariances for a random-mating population. Finally, the use of reciprocal mating designs to estimate variance components was investigated.

Abstract
The interrelationships of Beta chloroplast genomes have been investigated on the basis of the analysis of Fraction I protein and chloroplast (ct) DNA. Three groups of the chloroplast genomes could be demonstrated by the difference in isoelectric points of the large subunit of Fraction I protein. Restriction enzyme analysis revealed inter- and intra-specific variations among the ctDNAs, which enabled us to detect seven distinct ctDNA types. In Vulgares and Corollinae species, the observed differences were physically mapped taking advantage of the restriction fragment map available for sugar beet (B. vulgaris) ctDNA. The DNA variations were found to result either from gains or losses of restriction sites or from small deletions/ insertions, and most of them were located in the large single-copy region of the genome. Moreover, the ctDNAs from Patellares species are more diverged from those of other Beta taxa. Our results also indicate that there is a close correlation between the chloroplast genome diversity and the accepted taxonomic classification of the species included in this survey.
