Green cybrids with a new nucleus-chloroplast combination cannot be selected after protoplast fusion in the intersubfamilialNicotiana-Solanumcombination. As an approach to overcome the supposed plastomegenome incompatibility, a partial plastome transfer by genetic recombination has been considered. After fusions of protoplasts of a light-sensitiveNicotiana tabacum(tobacco) plastome mutant and lethally irradiated protoplasts of wild-typeSolanum tuberosum(potato), a single green colony was recovered among 2.5×104colonies. The regenerated plants had tobacco-like (although abnormal) morphology, but were normally green, and sensitive to tentoxin, demonstrating chloroplast markers of the potato parent. Restriction enzyme analysis of the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) revealed recombinant, nonparental patterns. A comparison with physical maps of the parental cpDNA demonstrated the presence of a considerable part of the potato plastome flanked by tobacco-specific regions. This “potacco” plastome proved to be stable in backcross and backfusion experiments, and normally functional in the presence solely ofN. tabacumnucleus.
