ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

Apomixie, sexualité et amélioration des graminées tropicales [PDF]
Apomixis, sexuality and improvement of tropical grasses. Gametophytic apomixis together with sexuality can be used for the improvement of tropical grasses. Apomixis is researched for providing an easy spreading of cultivars.

ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

Analysis of variation for apomictic reproduction in diploid Paspalum rufum [PDF]
Background and Aims: The diploid cytotype of Paspalum rufum (Poaceae) reproduces sexually and is self-sterile; however, recurrent autopolyploidization through 2n + n fertilization and the ability for reproduction via apomixis have been documented in one ...

Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Abstract The genus Citrus is characterized by a reticulate evolutionary history with frequent hybridization, making it an intriguing subject for genome evolution investigation. Citrus changshan‐huyou Y. B. Chang (Huyou) is a unique landrace first discovered in Zhejiang Province, China, with premium fruit quality.

Apomixis in hawkweed: Mendel's experimental nemesis [PDF]
Mendel used hawkweeds and other plants to verify the laws of inheritance he discovered using Pisum. Trait segregation was not evident in hawkweeds because many form seeds asexually by apomixis. Meiosis does not occur during female gametophyte formation and the mitotically formed embryo sacs do not require fertilization for seed development.

Tetraploidisation is a common phenomenon in apomictic Citrus seedlings affected by genotype and environmental conditions [PDF]
Citrus species are mainly diploid (2n=2x=18) and very few natural polyploid are encountered in the citrus gene pool. However, several reports of tetraploid seedlings occurrence from apomictic citrus have been done during the last century.

Greater Thermal Plasticity Toward Heterogeneous Range‐Edge Environments of Three Hypericum Species
Predictions from the highest‐ranked models testing the effect of range position (RP) and environmental heterogeneity (EH) on trait plasticity, with population‐specific plasticity values in blue (Hypericum montanum), red (H. perforatum), and green (H. maculatum).
