Abstract

The effects of tonoplast and rafts isolated from vacuolar membranes on the import of DNA into mitochondria of potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum) were studied. It was shown that the addition of rafts isolated from the tonoplast to mitochondria increased 8-fold the activity of the DNA import into mitochondria as compared to the import in the untreated mitochondria.
