The heteroduplex content is calculated according to Palais et al. (2005). When MT reference DNA is mixed with MT samples, no heteroduplexes form after PCR. However, when MT DNA is added to DNA templates of homozygous WT and F 1 plants, heteroduplexes form after PCR: the heteroduplex content is 2x(1-x) in homozygous WT samples, and ½(1- x 2 ) in heterozygous samples. By adding 15% MT DNA, the heteroduplex content of the homozygous WT sample is about half that of the heterozygous sample, so that there is maximal separation in melting curves between WT, MT and F1 samples (Palais et al. 2005).
