Summary
Wheat and barley albino plants derived from anther culture contain plastid genomes which have suffered deletion. DNA molecules of the size of unit genomes exist in these plants. In some cases these may be linear genomes. In all cases a region near the T8 fragment of barley or the corresponding region of the wheat plastid genome has been retained. This region may therefore represent sequences sufficient for replication.
