Restriction fragment analysis revealed differences in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) between adult and juvenile coastal redwood, Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl. Thus, for example, juvenile shoots contained 4.0‐ and 3.6‐kb BamHI], restricted fragments that were absent in adult material. Rejuvenation by 5 repetitive graftings onto juvenile rootstocks resulted in the same 4.0‐ and 3.6‐kb fragments as were present in the juvenile material. The similarities in mtDNA fragments of juvenile and rejuvenated. shoots, as well as their distinction from adult shoots, were confirmed by double digestion, Southern hybridization and DNA sequencing.
