Abstract
A green plant contains at least three types of organelles - nucleus, mitochondrion and plastid - which replicate, transcribe and express their genetic information in a coordinated way. The existence of DNA in plastids might have been inferred already from the genetic studies of Baur (1909) and Correns (1909), provided that the DNA-chromosome-gene concept had existed at that time. Evidence that plastids distribute genetic markers in a non-Mendelian mode of inheritance accumulated from the work performed with higher plants (Renner 1936, Rhoades 1946, Michaelis 1955, Schötz 1958, Stubbe 1959, Hagemann 1964, Röbbelen 1966, Von Wettstein 1967, Tilney-Bassett 1970), Chlamydomonas (Sager 1954) and Euglena (Lyman et al. 1961).
