Homozygote Depression in Gamete-Derived Dragon-Fruit (Hylocereus) Lines
Putative gamete-derived progenies from two Hylocereus species, the diploid H. monacanthus and the tetraploid H. megalanthus, were studied with the dual aims to confirm their gamete origin and to evaluate their potential use as genetic resources.
