The maternal inheritance of organelles (such as chloroplasts and mitochondria) is the rule in most eukaryotes. In tobacco, chilling stress during pollen development and deactivation of an exonuclease that degrades organellar DNA facilitate paternal plastid transmission, thereby revealing that both genetic and environmental factors determine organelle inheritance.
