Plastid gene copy number in androgenic regenerants of ‘Jersey’ and ‘Mercada’ cultivars. a, b The individual copy number of genes localised in the plastid genome in green (GP) and albino (AP) regenerants of cv. ‘Jersey’ (a) and cv. ‘Mercada’ (b). c The relative expression profile of Polγ (Organellar DNA polymeraseI) gene in albino regenerants of both cultivars in comparison to green regenerants. Graphs show mean values of n ≥ 3 with SD in a and b and SEM in c. A hash indicates a value significantly different between green and albino plants within cultivar (t-Student test, P < 0.05). Red lines in a and b show average copy numbers calculated for copies of individual genes. LSC – long single copy, IR – inverted repeat, SSC – short single copy
