Asynapsis and meiotic restitution in tomato male meiosis induced by heat stress
Susceptibility of the reproductive system to temperature fluctuations is a recurrent problem for crop production under a changing climate. The damage is complex as multiple processes in male and female gamete formation are affected, but in general ...

Novel Approaches for Species Concepts and Delimitation in Polyploids and Hybrids
Hybridization and polyploidization are important processes for plant evolution. However, classification of hybrid or polyploid species has been notoriously difficult because of the complexity of processes and different evolutionary scenarios that do not ...

A single polyploidization event at the origin of the tetraploid genome of Coffea arabica is responsible for the extremely low genetic variation in wild and cultivated germplasm [PDF]
The genome of the allotetraploid species Coffea arabica L. was sequenced to assemble independently the two component subgenomes (putatively deriving from C. canephora and C.

Introgression in interspecific hybrids of lily [PDF]
In order to introduce new desirable characters into the cultivar assortment of lily a range of interspecific crossing barriers has to be overcome. By using various pollination and embryo rescue techniques pre- and postfertilization barriers were overcome

Reproductive differentiation into sexual and apomictic polyploid cytotypes in Potentilla puberula (Potentilleae, Rosaceae) [PDF]
Intraspecific reproductive differentiation into sexual and apomictic cytotypes of differing ploidy is a common phenomenon. However, mechanisms enabling the maintenance of both reproductive modes and integrity of cytotypes in sympatry are as yet poorly understood.

Occurrence of Unreduced Female Gametes Leads to Sexual Polyploidization in Lantana [PDF]
Lantana camara , a member of the verbena family, is a popular ornamental yet highly invasive plant. It can escape from cultivation through seed dispersal and can contaminate native lantana species ( Lantana depressa ) through cross-pollination. Ploidy manipulation is being

CENH3-GFP: a visual marker for gametophytic and somatic ploidy determination in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Background: The in vivo determination of the cell-specific chromosome number provides a valuable tool in several aspects of plant research. However, current techniques to determine the endosystemic ploidy level do not allow non-destructive, cell-specific

Polyploidy breaks speciation barriers in Australian burrowing frogs Neobatrachus [PDF]
Polyploidy has played an important role in evolution across the tree of life but it is still unclear how polyploid lineages may persist after their initial formation.
