Protoplasts from different Daucus carota L. cell strains carrying resistance to glyphosate, 5-methyltryptophan, sodium selenate or selenocystine were fused in three combinations using dextran. Clones were selected for both of the resistances carried by the individual parental strains in medium with both inhibitors. No doubly resistant colonies formed from unfused controls or from protoplasts from each individual parental strain alone. Suspension cultures from the selected clones contained predominantly the additive chromosome numbers of the parental strains. Apparently the four resistances used are expressed dominantly in fusion hybrids. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA showed that recombination occurred in one fusion combination since the mitochondrial DNA in the hybrid cells was different from that of either parent as shown by restriction endonuclease fragment analysis. Mitochondrial DNA in the other two somatic hybrid combinations was parental. Thus, a dominant, nuclear resistance marker system has been developed to select efficiently for somatic hybrids in which mitochondrial DNA recombination can be studied.
