Data from: Parentage and sibship inference from markers in polyploids
, 2013 Many plants and some animal species are polyploids. Non-disomically inherited markers (e.g. microsatellites) in such species cannot be analysed directly by standard population genetics methods developed for diploid species.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Doubled haploid technology accelerates the development of fully homozygous maize lines compared with conventional selfing. However, specific protocols for supersweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata), particularly regarding immersion time in antimitotic solutions and temperature during chromosome doubling, remain poorly defined.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The combination of polyploidy, apomixis and the formation of aneuploid and interploid hybrids makes the genus Urochloa an interesting system for investigating meiotic stability and genome behaviour in grasses. In this study, routine meiotic analysis and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) were used to (i) evaluate meiosis in three hybrids of ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., 2n = 4x = 40, AABB) is an important legume crop worldwide. Wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) represent a valuable secondary gene pool with diverse disease resistances. However, most wild peanut species are diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and this ploidy barrier is a major obstacle to hybridization and gene introgression.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Unreduced gametes naturally promote polyploidization and are valuable in breeding polyploid offspring. Bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. macrophylla), a major ornamental crop, has shown spontaneous polyploidization rates ranging from 0% to 94% in previous crosses.

Triploid Ginkgo production from interploidy crossings
Industrial Crops and ProductsGinkgo biloba is a phylogenetically, ornamentally, culturally, and medicinally important representative of gymnosperms. This group exhibits an extremely low frequency of polyploids, in contrast to the frequent and economically valuable polyploids found ...
