Abstract

Chloroplast DNA methylation and inheritance in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were studied using a potent, specific methylation inhibitor to test the methylation-restriction model. Destruction of hypomethylate mt(super.+) cpDNA does not occur in zygotes as the methylation-restriction model would predict.
