Abstract
Cultivated carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is one of about 25–40 related wild species in the genus Daucus depending on the classification. It is part of a widely distributed and taxonomically complex family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) containing 466 genera and 3820 species that is one of the largest families of seed plants. Members of the Apiaceae, particularly the genus Daucus, have been the subject of intensive recent molecular studies on the structure and genetics of plastids and mitochondria. This chapter summarizes organellar (plastids and mitochondria) structure, function, mutational rates, and inter-organelle DNA transfer in the Apiaceae and inheritance in the genus Daucus, with a wider focus on the Apiaceae and the sister family Araliaceae, and places these data in the context of other studies in the angiosperms.
