Exploiting Unreduced Gametes for Improving Ornamental Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The formation of gametes with somatic chromosome number or unreduced gametes (2n gametes) is an important process involved in the origin of polyploid plants in nature. Unreduced gametes are the result of meiotic mutations occurring during micro- and mega-

A Review of Unreduced Gametes and Neopolyploids in Alfalfa: How to Fill the Gap between Well-Established Meiotic Mutants and Next-Generation Genomic Resources [PDF]
Plants, 2021 The gene flow mediated by unreduced gametes between diploid and tetraploid plants of the Medicagosativa-coerulea-falcata complex is pivotal for alfalfa breeding.

Assessment of Gene Flow Between Gossypium hirsutum and G. herbaceum: Evidence of Unreduced Gametes in the Diploid Progenitor [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 In the framework of a gene flow assessment, we investigated the natural hybridization rate between Gossypium hirsutum (AADD genome) and G. herbaceum (AA genome). The latter species, a diploid progenitor of G.

Asynapsis and unreduced gamete formation in a Trifolium interspecific hybrid
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Unreduced gametes, a driving force in the widespread polyploidization and speciation of flowering plants, occur relatively frequently in interspecific or intergeneric hybrids. Studies of the mechanisms leading to 2n gamete formation, mainly in

Unreduced Male Gamete Formation in Cymbidium and Its Use for Developing Sexual Polyploid Cultivars [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Polyploidy plays an important role in crop improvement. Polyploid plants, particularly those produced through unreduced gametes (2n gametes), show increased organ size, improved buffering capacity for deleterious mutations, and enhanced heterozygosity ...

Unzipped chromosome-level genomes reveal allopolyploid nematode origin pattern as unreduced gamete hybridization [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 The formation and consequences of polyploidization in animals with clonal reproduction remain largely unknown. Clade I root-knot nematodes (RKNs), characterized by parthenogenesis and allopolyploidy, show a widespread geographical distribution and ...

Naturally Occurring Triploidy in Cannabis [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Polyploidy is a significant evolutionary process in plants that involves the duplication of genomic content and has been recognized as a key mechanism driving plant diversification and adaptation.
