There are many plants which are inherited from the plastids from just single parent. Angiosperm inherits plastids from the female gamete while there are many gymnosperms who will inherit plastids from the male pollen. Algae inherit plastids from one parent only. The inheritance of the plastid DNA seems to be 100% uniparental. In hybridisation, the inheritance of plastid seems to be more erratic.
