The mitochondrial phenotype of [poky] and other extranuclear Neurospora mutants is known to predominate over that of wild type in hetero-plasmons. In the present work, we have investigated the interaction between wild-type and [poky] mtDNAs using as many as four physical markers to distinguish the two types of mtDNAs. Two insertions, one of 1200 bp in Eco RI-5 and the other 50 bp in Eco RI-9, are identified as sites of high frequency, unidirectional gene conversion leading to their spread through mtDNA populations in heteroplasmons. However, the transmission of the [poky] mutation does not appear to be correlated with the transmission of either of these insertions or of other physical markers. The possibility that other loci of nonreciprocal recombination might be responsible for the "dominance" of Neurospora extranuclear mutants is discussed.
