Reviews

The advantage of this monograph is parallel explanation of genetics of chloroplasts and mitochondria, in plant, microbial and animal tissues. Another merits of the book are the voluminous lists of full references accompanying each chapter and a detailed subject index. Z. Sestak, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Photosynthetica, 1996, vol. 32, no. 2

[A] big, dense and thorough examination of what is known about the genetics of mitochondria and chloroplasts....Organized in a clear way, with more than adequate illustrations, this book would be invaluable to the appropriate reader....For the geneticist interested in organelle genetics, for the graduate student planning research in this area, this book is a must-have. --Applied Cytogenetics An excellent and very thorough book. --Ming-Mei Chang, SUNY-Genesee
