Induction of 2n pollen with colchicine during microsporogenesis in Phalaenopsis. [PDF]
Breed Sci, 2022 The induction of 2n pollen is an important technique for breeding polyploid plants. Here, we observed meiosis in the pollen mother cells (PMCs) of six Phalaenopsis cultivars and attempted to induce 2n pollen. The meiotic stage was related to flower bud length. During meiosis, Phalaenopsis cultivars with flower widths of approximately 20-40 mm and 50-60

Analysis of Meiotic Behavior and 2n Pollen Formation Frequency in Triploid Hybrids of Chinese Jujube [PDF]
PlantsThe Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), an economically significant fruit tree native to China, is valued for both fresh and dried uses. In plants, 2n gametes serve as the fundamental basis for creating a sexual polyploid germplasm.

Genetic composition and heterozygosity of gibberellin-induced 2n gametes evaluated by SSR markers in Populus [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground The artificial induction of unreduced (2n) gametes, due to first division restitution (FDR) or second division restitution (SDR), is an important method to produce triploids in higher plants.

Production of Triploid Germplasm by Inducing 2n Pollen in Longan
Horticulturae, 2022 Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) is of great economic significance in South China for its unique taste and nutritional properties. However, longan breeding is mainly based on seedling selection, which generally results in small fruits, low flesh recovery,
