1989, Cannon GC, Van KT, Heinhorst S, Trinh TH, Weissbach A, “An examination of the plastid DNA of hypohaploid Nicotiana plumbaginifolia plants”, in Plant Physiology, volume 90, number 2, →DOI, →PMID, →PMCID, pages 390–393:DNA was extracted from different morphological types of hypohaploid Nicotiana plumbaginifolia plants. The cellular levels of chloroplast DNA (expressed as percent of total DNA) were found to be approximately two- to threefold higher in two albino hypohaploids than in a green hypohaploid. The level of chloroplast DNA in the green hypohaploid was not significantly different from either in vitro or in vivo grown haploid N. plumbaginifolia plants.
