Summary

Small supercoiled DNA molecules of Vicia faba were cloned and characterized by restriction mapping and molecular hybridization. The 1700 by S plasmid has been found to be specifically associated with the male sterile cytoplasms and exhibited large homologies with the other 1700 by F plasmid as shown by molecular cross hybridization. In one line bearing the male sterile 350 cytoplasm, a deleted mitochondrial plasmid of 1540 bp was observed and this plasmid derives from the 1700 bp S plasmid. Our results indicate therefore that three of the four plasmids analysed are closely related between each other.
