A nuclear-encoded endonuclease governs the paternal transmission of mitochondria in Cucumis plants

Abstract Non-Mendelian transmission of mitochondria has been well established across most eukaryotes, however the genetic mechanism that governs this uniparental inheritance remains unclear. Plants in the genus Cucumis, specifically melon and cucumber, exhibit paternal transmission of the mitochondr...
