Abstract

The plant mitochondria but not chloroplasts have natural ability to uptake (to import) foreign DNA. Although the molecular mechanism of DNA transfer into mitochondria is not yet completely understood, the ability of mitochondria actively import DNA may be used efficiently as for studying of mitochondrial genome functioning as for development of biotechnologies for gene delivery into mitochondria.
