Nucleotide polymorphism in chloroplast dna of Nicotiana debneyi
1CSIRO Division of Plant Industry, Canberra City, Australia.
Abstract:
EcoR1 restriction endonuclease analysis of chloroplast DNA isolated from several distinct populations of Nicotiana debneyi has revealed a naturally occurring polymorphism. The chloroplast DNA of seven of the nine populations analysed possessed an additional EcoRl site. The origin of the additional restriction endonuclease fragments was confirmed by hybridisation of [(32) P]-cRNA to fractionated EcoRl restricted chloroplast-DNA fragments adsorbed to nitrocellulose filters. Reciprocal f1 hybrids between plants carrying the variant chloroplast-DNA's confirmed maternal inheritance of chloroplast-DNA.

Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
