Differences in the genetic structure of citrus triploid hybrids recovered from 2x X 2x and 4x X 2x sexual hybridizations [PDF]
, 2015 Citrus triploid hybrids can be recovered by 2x X 2x hybridisations as a consequence of the formation of 2n gametes or by interploid hybridisation. Most of the 4x parents used in our program are doubled-diploid (DD), also known as autotetraploid.
