Unlike yeast, which has been an extremely useful model for the study of mitochondrial mutations, plants display very few mitochondrial mutations, at least in the homoplasmic state (Chetrit et al., 1992; Yamato and Newton, 1999; Lilly et al., 2001; Ohtani et al., 2002). Most mitochondrial mutations seem to be incompatible with normal plant development (Gu et al., 1994), demonstrating that mitochondrially encoded functions are essential for the viability of developed plants (Goodman et al., 1981). Nevertheless, genetic variants of plant mitochondria are available from various sources.The mutation of nuclear genes affecting mitochondrial genomic stability may induce mitochondrial mutations via the rearrangement of mtDNA sequences (Abdelnoor et al., 2003; Kuzmin et al., 2005; see Chapter 2). This is the case for the non-chromosomal stripe (NCS) mutations of maize, most of which arose in particular genetic backgrounds (Shumway and Bauman, 1967; Newton and Coe, 1986). However, most of the mitochondrial mutations induced by such genotypes can be maintained only in the heteroplasmic state. In vitro culture can be used to recover mitochondrial genomic variations, some of which are associated with remarkable phenotypes (Chetritet al., 1992; Lillyet al., 2001; Bartoszewskiet al., 2004). Again, the scarcity of phenotypes and of homoplasmy among plants recovered from in vitro culture suggests that there is a strong need for an unaltered mitochondrial genome in plants. However, in vitro culture can also be used to create new mitochondrial genomes via the recombination of two different parental mitochondrial genomes after protoplast fusion (Belliard et al., 1979). When viable plants carrying recombined mitochondrial genomes can be regenerated, the most dramatic phenotypic effects concern flower morphology and pollen production (Belliard et al., 1979; Leino etal., 2003; Zubkoet al., 2003). It should be stressed that the recombined mitochondrial genomes generated by protoplast fusion experiments should not be regarded as new mutations resulting from genuine mutagenesis. They correspond instead to the sampling and redistribution of mitochondrial genes from the parent plants, and can therefore be considered as intermediate stages between the normal homoplasmic situation of the parents and the alloplasmic situation obtained following cytoplasm exchange in sexual crosses. Indeed, the phenotypes of plants carrying recombined mitochondrial genomes resulting from protoplast fusion experiments are generally intermediate between normality and severely affected alloplasmic lines (Belliard
