Organelle DNA synthesis in root meristem and cultured cell line BY-2, both derived from Nicotiana tabacum cv. Bright Yellow 2, was examined by immunofluorescence microscopy of Technovit sections with antibody against 5- bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and co-fluorescent staining with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and quantitative Southern hybridization. In the root meristem, the mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) were synthesized in a specific region near to the quiescent center, where a low frequency of DNA synthesis of cell nuclei was observed. The mitochondrial nuclei (nucleoids) changed morphologically from long ellipsoids with a high frequency of DNA synthesis, in the region just above the quiescent center, to granules with a low frequency of DNA synthesis, as cell distance from the quiescent center increased. Similar patterns were observed in the cultured tobacco cell line (BY-2), in which large amounts of preferential synthesis of DNA of both mitochondria and plastids occurred prior to cell nuclear DNA synthesis just after stationary phase cells were transferred to fresh medium. Granular mitochondria which vigorously synthesized mtDNA were observed in both lag phase and logarithmic growth phase cells. However, long, ellipsoidal mitochondria which showed a low frequency of mtDNA synthesis were observed in stationary phase cells. Morphological changes of plastids were more conspicuous than those of mitochondria. After the medium was renewed, spherical plastids became extremely elongated and string-like, for 24 h, but were divided into small pieces after the third day. Vigorous synthesis of plastid DNA (ptDNA) occurred during this period of plastids elongation.
