First evidence of heteroplasmy in Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix)

First evidence of heteroplasmy in Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix)

We report for the first time the occurrence of heteroplasmy in Grey Partridge ( Perdix perdix ) revealed by means of two mitochondrial fragments. The possible serious biological and management implications of this exception to unilateral inheritance of mtDNA were underlined.
