The term “plasmon” is used to indicate the whole cytoplasmic genetic system, whereas “genome” refers to the whole nuclear genetic system. Although maternal inheritance of the plasmon is well documented in angiosperms, its genetic autonomy from the coexisting nuclear genome still awaits critical examination. We tested this autonomy in two related studies: One was to determine the persistence of the genetic effect of the plasmon ofAegilops caudata(genome CC) on the phenotype of common wheat,Triticum aestivumstrain “Tve” (genome AABBDD), during 63 y (one generation per year) of repeated backcrosses ofAe. caudataand its offspring with pollen of the same Tve wheat, and the second was to reconstruct anAe. caudatastrain from the genome of this strain and its plasmon that had been resident in Tve wheat for 50 generations, and to compare the phenotypic and organellar DNA characteristics between the native and reconstructed strains. Results indicated no change in the effect ofAe. caudataplasmon on Tve wheat during its stay in wheat for more than half a century, and no difference between the native and reconstructedcaudatastrains in their phenotype and simple sequence repeats in their organellar DNAs, thus demonstrating the prolonged genetic autonomy of the plasmon from the coexisting genomes of wheat and several other species that were used in the reconstruction ofAe. caudata. The relationship between the proven genetic autonomy of the plasmon under changing nuclear conditions and its diversification during evolution of theTriticum–Aegilopscomplex is discussed.
