Conservation challenges and opportunities for native apple (Malus) species in Canada
Apple, one of the world's most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops, has two wild relatives native to Canada. In this review, we describe the importance of these native apple species to Indigenous heritage and the current threats the species faces due to pests, diseases, and habitat loss.

Chromosomal Evolution and Apomixis in the Cruciferous Tribe Boechereae
The mustard family (Brassicaceae) comprises several dozen monophyletic clades usually ranked as tribes. The tribe Boechereae plays a prominent role in plant research due to the incidence of apomixis and its close relationship to Arabidopsis.

Chromosome doubling in Tripsacum : the production of artificial, sexual tetraploid plants [PDF]
Une collection de cals diploïdes et embryogènes de #Tripsacum$ a été constituée et traitée à la colchicine pour induire des doublements chromosomiques. Des sections de cals présentant des cellules dupliquées ont été identifiées par cytométrie en flux, et

Mango, the king of fruits, is important to daily life, nutrition, and households in South and Southeast Asia. It is considered the second most important fruit in Taiwan, where many varieties are available. Using high‐throughput DNA genotyping, we analyzed mango germplasm for variety identification, genebank management, and breeding. Our results confirm

Apomictic lines of sugar beet: development and studying
Background. While working with such cross-pollinated crops as sugar beet, the greatest problem is the fixation of valuable genotypes. Using apomixis to produce breeding material helps to accelerate the breeding process and save the desired combination of

An inordinate fondness?: the number, distributions, and origins of diatom species [PDF]
The number of extant species of diatoms is estimated here to be at least 30,000 and probably ca. 100,000, by extrapolation from an eclectic sample of genera and species complexes.

Upon prolonged waterlogging, a Costus speciosus plant developed bulbils at stem node. Karyotype analysis, nucleolar staining, and anatomical study revealed its triploid status and developmental aspects. Prevalence of tetraploid, abundance, and unique reproductive fecundity of the triploid, indicates its determinant role in coexistence of the multiple ...

Developmental genetics of gametophytic apomixis
Some higher plants reproduce asexually by apomixis, a natural way of cloning through seeds. Apomictic plants produce progeny that are an exact genetic replica of the mother plant. The replication is achieved through changes in the female reproductive pathway such that female gametes develop without meiosis and embryos develop without fertilization ...
