Summary A group of wild, tuber-bearing species from Northwest Argentina, belonging to the series Tuberosa, Solarium spegazzini Bitt. (spg, 2n=2x=24), S. gourlayi Hawkes (grl, 2n=2x=24 and 2n=4x=48) and S. oplocense Hawkes (opl, 2n=6x=72), and Cuneolata, S. infundibuliforme Phil (ifd, 2n=2x=24), is being used to investigate the mode of origin of polyploids in the genus Solanum. 2n gametes have been detected in the diploid species ifd and spg and in a diploid race of grl, using cytological and breeding approaches. Twenty-two introductions of spg, 8 of grl and 26 of ifd have been tested for 2n pollen; 59%, 63% and 54% of them, respectively, had at least one 2n pollen producing plant. These introductions comprised 238, 76 and 235 plant respectively, of which 20, 16, and 32 plant produced 5% or more 2n pollen. The mechanism of 2n pollen formation was determined in several plant of 2x spg, 2x grl and 2x ifd. All of them were found to form diplandroids via parallel spindles. This mechanism, which gives meiotic products genetically equivalent to first division restitution gametes, is under control of the Mendelian recessive ps. The results suggest that the allele ps is widely distributed in natural populations of the three diploids, and that its frequency is very high. These species are seen as valuable material for population genetic studies, and for the eventual incorporation into a breeding scheme involving sexual polyploidization via 2n gametes. 相似文献

Summary A high gene frequency for ps (parallel spindles) is expected in cultivated tetraploid potatoes, S. tuberosum Group Tuberosum, if 2n pollen produced by ancestral diploid plants which were psps was involved in the origin and evolution of the potato. Fifty-six North American cultivars (varieties and advanced selections) were pollinated by diploid clones, either W 5295.7 or W 5337.3 which are homozygous recessive for ps. The segregation ratios in regard to 2n pollen production in derived tetraploid progenies, from 4x×2x crosses, reveal the genotype of ps in the cultivars. Microsporogenesis of 2n pollen producing 4x progeny was observed to avoid an overestimation of the frequency of 2n pollen producing plants due to mechanisms other than parallel spindles. More than 50% of the 56 cultivars are simplex (Pspspsps), since in each of these cultivars about 50% of their progeny produced 2n pollen. The ps gene frequency in the 56 cultivars was estimated as high as 0.69. The high frequency of ps in the tetraploid cultivars clearly supports the hypothesis that 2n pollen produced by plants homozygous recessive for ps have been involved in the origin of cultivated tetraploid potatoes, since a higher frequency of ps in the tetraploid than in the ancestral diploid population can be expected from sexual polyploidization but not from somatic doubling. The importance of meiotic mutants such as ps for the successful evolution of polysomic polyploids is emphasized. 相似文献

Summary A synaptic mutant was found in haploids (2n=2x=24) extracted from the Mexican potato variety Atzimba (2n=4x=48). The mutant is inherited as a simple Mendelian recessive, designated sy4. Meiotic abnormalities of the mutant during microsporogenesis include: poor synapsis at pachytene; high frequency of univalents at diakinesis; elongated and curved spindles and univalents being scattered over the spindles at metaphase I and anaphase I; abnormal chromosome distribution at anaphase I; and production of sterile pollen, presumably due to unbalanced chromosome complement. The expression of sy4 in megasporogenesis was also detected. The sy4 mutant is very useful for potato breeding when combined with another meiotic mutant, parallel spindles (ps), because haploids homozygous for sy4 and ps produce fertile 2n pollen which transmit almost intact genotypes of the parents to the progenies. Thus, the meiotic mutants provide a powerful breeding method for maximizing heterozygosity and epistasis. They can also provide a very efficient method of transferring diploid germplasm, which has desired characteristics efficiently combined at the 2x level, to tetraploids. Many haploids have been identified with 2n pollen production by ps alone or by sy4 and ps, vigorous growth and good flowering, and a high level of resistance to late blight. The importance of a further search for meiotic mutants and their use for breeding is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Crosses between male sterile L. corniculatus (2n=4x=24) and L. tenuis (2n=2x=12) plants were performed in order to verify the presence of 2n gametes in L. tenuis. All but one of the plants from these crosses had 2n=4x=24 and the L. corniculatus phenotype; this plant had 2n=2x=12 and the L. tenuis phenotype. The plants also showed good quantity of pollen at tripping, good pollen fertility and good percentage of seed setting in the backcross to L. corniculatus. On the whole, both cytological and morphological observations, showing that all but one of the plants from L. corniculatus x L. tenuis were normal tetraploids, suggest the existence of diploandrous gametes in L. tenuis. On the other hand, haploid parthenogenesis probably gave origin to the dihaploid plant 2n=2x=12. 相似文献

Summary Tetraploid (2n=4x=48) 2EBN Mexican wild species in the series Longipedicellata, which consists of Solanum fendleri, S. hjertingii, S. papita, S. polytrichon, and S. stoloniferum, were crossed with two 2EBN cultivated diploid (2n=2x=24) clones. The resulting triploid hybrids (2n=3x=36) produced 2n pollen (triplandroids) by the mechanism of parallel orientation of anaphase II spindles. The percentage of stainable pollen in 520 triploids ranged between 0 and 23.5%, with a mean of 2.7%. Triploids producing between 13.0 and 23.5% stainable pollen were crossed as staminate parents to the tetraploid cultivars, resulting in abundant pentaploid (2n=5x=60) and near-pentaploid hybrid progeny. Crosses of triploids with lower percentage of stainable pollen as pollen parent to the tetraploid cultivars did not yield fruit, unless rescue pollen from a tetraploid cultivar was added 2 days later. Pentaploid hybrids were selected among selfed tetraploid progenies using morphological and isoxyme markers transmitted from their cultivated diploid parents. These pentaploid hybrids were vigorous and had uniformly sterile pollen. They were female fertile and were crossed with tetraploid cultivars, yielding an average of 19 seeds per fruit. Triplandroids provide the opportunity of transferring 2EBN tetraploid Mexican wild species in the series Longipedicellata germ plasm into the 4EBN cultivated potatoes.Cooperative investigations of the ARS, USDA, and the Washington State University Agricultural Research Center, Prosser, WA 99350, USA.

The occurrence and frequency of 2n pollen in 2x, 4x,and 6x wild,tuber-bearing Solanum species from Mexico,and Central and South America 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary The occurrence of 2n pollen-producing plants was investigated in 187 plant introductions (PIs) of 38 wild species of tuber-bearing Solanum. These 2x, 4x, and 6x species are from Mexico, and Central and South America. The determination of 2n pollen-producing plants was conducted using acetocarmine glycerol. Plants with more than 1% large-size pollen were regarded as 2n pollen-producing plants. 2n pollen-producing plants were identified in the following species: 10 out of 12 Mexican 2x species, seven of nine South American 2x species, seven of seven Mexican and Central American 4x species, five of five South American 4x species, and five of five Mexican 6x species. The frequency of 2n pollen-producing plants varied among species at the same ploidy level, but the range of frequency, generally between 2 and 10% among species, was similar over different ploidy levels. The general occurrence of 2n pollen in both 2x and polyploid species, which are evolutionarily related, is evidence that the mode of polyploidization in tuber-bearing Solanums is sexual polyploidization. Furthermore, the frequencies of 2n pollen-producing plants in autogamous disomic polyploid species were not markably different from those of their related diploid species. It is thought that the frequent occurrence of 2n gametes with autogamy tends to disturb the fertility and consequently reduce fitness of polyploids. Thus, we propose that the breeding behavior of polyploids and the occurrence of 2n gametes may be genetically balanced in order to conserve high fitness in polyploid species in tuberbearing Solanum.Paper No. 3114 from the Laboratory of Genetics.

Summary In the genus Medicago, it is known that 2n gametes have been important in the evolution and breeding of cultivated alfalfa, which is a natural polysomic polyploid (2n=4x=32), however little is known on the frequency of male and female 2n gametes in diploid relatives of alfalfa. To obtain data on the frequency of 2n gametes, more than 12,000 2x–4x and 4x–2x crosses were made in 1982 at Madison (USA). Diploid parents in crosses were from four populations of M. coerulea, two of M. falcata and one diploid population of cultivated M. sativa which was derived by haploidy. The tetraploid seed parent in the crosses was a male-sterile M. sativa clone and vigorous tetraploid M. sativa plants were used as pollen parents. Each of 274 diploid plants was utilized both as male and as female. Of the 548 cross combinations, 266 crosses produced variable quantities of seeds which were sown in 1983 in a greenhouse at Perugia (Italy); the plants were subsequently space transplanted in the field in 1984. The identification of ploidy level of these genotypes was made on the basis of morphological characters, plant fertility, pollen stainability and chromosome counts.Of the 515 plants analyzed, the majority behaved as normal tetraploids indicating that many diploid plants produced 2n gametes. Diplogynous and diplandrous gamete production was not correlated with each other, which indicated a different genetic control of 2n sporogenesis in the 2 sexes. Only 4 F1 triploid plants confirmed the presence of a very effective triploid block in alfalfa. In consequence, bilateral sexual polyploidization is a more likely alternative for the origin of tetraploid alfalfa than triploid bridges. The present study showed that it is possible to efficiently identify genotypes able to produce high frequencies of 2n gametes within natural populations of diploids Medicago that are useful in alfalfa breeding.Part of this study was conducted at the Agronomy Department, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis, USA, while one of us (F. Veronesi) was in receipt of financial assistance provided by the National Research Council of Italy; part was conducted at Centro di Studio per il Miglioramento Genetico delie Piante Foraggere, C.N.R., Perugia, Italy.

The use of Endosperm Balance Number and 2n gametes to transfer exotic germplasm in potato 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Summary A triploid hybrid (2n=3x=36) between a colchicine-induced 4x(2EBN) Solanum brevidens (a non-tuber-bearing species) and 2x(2EBN) S. chacoense (a tuber-bearing species) was used as a vehicle for germplasm transfer to S. tuberosum Group Tuberosum. The use of 2n gametes from the triploid allowed the unique opportunity for transferring exotic germplasm from Series Etuberosa to Gp. Tuberosum material. The triploid hybrid used had a pollen stainability of less than 0.1%. Observations of microsporogenesis revealed that metaphase I pairing configurations were primarily 12 bivalents and 12 univalents with occasional trivalents. Anaphase I separations were irregular, often with lagging univalents. Meiotic observations and pollen morphology suggest that the stainable pollen produced by the hybrid was 2n=3x=36. A single pentaploid hybrid (2n=5x=60) was produced by the fertilization of a rare 2n egg from the triploid with a normal male gamete from the clone Wis AG 231 (2n=4x=48). Limited crosses to other 1, 2 and 4EBN species and cultivars were unsuccessful. The pentaploid hybrid had a more regular meiosis than the triploid and dramatically improved pollen stainability (37% stainable pollen). Stylar blocks prevented estimates of male fertility in crosses. Female fertility in 47 crosses with nine cultivars averaged 19 seeds per fruit. Although S. brevidens is non-tuber-bearing, and the triploid produced only stolons, the pentaploid hybrid tuberized well under field conditions, despite being very late. Results suggest that the tuberization response is a dosage and/or threshold effect. This approach to the incorporation of 1EBN germplasm indicates the utility of the EBN concept coupled with 2n gametes. Further, it demonstrates a means for the introgression of 1EBN species genes into Gp. Tuberosum material. 相似文献

The utility of two pollen genetic markers for estimating the extent of meiotic recombination between the centromere and a marker gene was tested in 2n pollen of diploid potato clones. One of these markers was the distal locus amylose-free (amf) on chromosome 8 and the other was the isozyme locus alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh-1) on chromosome 4. In the case of the amf locus, the gene-centromere distance was estimated in a normal synaptic and a desynaptic genotype. In both cases the genetic analysis was confined to: (1) a direct estimation of the phenotypic (blue vs red) segregation ratios in FDR (first-division restitution) 2n pollen and (2) a classification of the 4 x progeny from 4x (nulliplex amf) x 2x (Amf/amf) crosses into duplex, simplex and nulliplex classes. The recombination frequency between the centromere and the amf locus in the normal synaptic genotype B92-7015-4 corresponded to a gene-centromere distance of 48.8 cM, whereas this distance amounted to 13.3 cM in the desynaptic genotype RS93-8025-1. Hence desynapsis reduced crossing-over by 73%. The observed genetic distance of 48.8 cM in the normal synaptic clone, B92-7015-4, is the highest gene-centromere distance reported so far in potato and this could be explained on the assumption of absolute chiasma interference. For the Adh-1 locus, it was found that heterozygous 2n pollen grains could be detected in pollen samples of the diploid clones, because of the occurrence of a heterodimeric band of the isozyme. Unlike the amf locus, the genecentromere distance for the Adh-1 locus was estimated only on the basis of the duplex, simplex and nulliplex classes in the progenies from 4x (nulliplex Adh-1

)x B92-7015-4 (Adh-1

)crosses and was found to be 19.4 cM. Because the accurate positions of centromeres in relation to other loci are not available in the existing genetic maps of potato, which are saturated with molecular markers, halftetrad analysis is a promising additional approach to the basic genetics of this crop. 相似文献

Summary Intergeneric hybrids were produced between common wheat, Triticum aestivum (2n=6x=42, AABBDD) and wheatgrass, Etymus caninus (Agropyron caninum) (2n=4x=28, SSHH) — the first successful report of this cross. Reciprocal crosses and genotypes differed for percent seed set, seed development and F1 hybrid plant production. With E. caninus as the pollen parent, there was no hybrid seed set. In the reciprocal cross, seed set was 23.1–25.4% depending upon wheat genotype used. Hybrid plants were produced only by rescuing embryos 12–13 days post pollination with cv Chinese Spring as the wheat parent. Kinetin in the medium facilitated embryo germination but inhibited root development and seedling growth. The hybrids were vigorous, self sterile, and intermediate between parents. These had expected chromosome number (2n=5x=35, ABDSH), very little chromosome pairing (0.51 II, 0.04 III) and some secondary associations. The hybrids were successfully backcrossed with wheat. Chromosome number in the BC1 derivatives varied 54–58 with 56 as the modal class. The BC1 derivatives showed unusually high number of rod bivalents or reduced pairing of wheat homologues. These were sterile and BC2 seed was produced using wheat pollen. 相似文献

Cytological basis of 2n pollen formation in a wide range of 2x, 4x, and 6x taxa from tuber-bearing Solanum species. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Cytological mechanisms of 2n pollen formation were investigated in microsporogenesis and sporad development in 2x, 4x, and 6x taxa of tuber-bearing Solanum species that were originally collected from Mexico, and Central and South America. Parallel spindles and tripoles were seen at anaphase II in the majority of genotypes observed. The occurrence of parallel spindles and tripoles were well correlated with the occurrence of dyads and triads at the sporad stage. Further, the frequency of 2n pollen predicted by frequencies of parallel spindles and tripoles and by frequencies of dyads and triads were also well correlated with observed 2n pollen frequencies. Premature cytokinesis at telophase I to prophase II was seen only in 2x and 4x species from series Conicibaccata. The frequency of premature cytokinesis corresponded well with the frequency of dyads leading to 2n pollen formation. It was concluded that the major mechanisms of 2n pollen formation in tuber-bearing Solanum species is parallel spindles. 相似文献

Summary A colchicine-doubled F1 hybrid (2n=118) of a cross between PI 360841 (Glycine max) (2n=40) x PI 378708 (G. tomentella) (2n=78), propagated by shoot cuttings since January 1984, produced approximately 100 F2 seed during October 1988. One-fourth of the F2 plants or their F3 progeny have been analyzed for chromosome number, pollen viability, pubescence tip morphology, seed coat color, and isoenzyme variation. Without exception, all plants evaluated possessed the chromosome number of the G. max parent (2n=40). Most F2 plants demonstrated a high level of fertility, although 2 of 24 plants had low pollen viability and had large numbers of fleshy pods. One F2 plant possessed sharp pubescence tip morphology, whereas all others were blunt-tipped. All evaluated F2 and F3 plants expressed the malate dehydrogenase and diaphorase isoenzyme patterns of the G. max parent and the endopeptidase isoenzyme pattern of the G. tomentella parent. Mobility variants were observed among progeny for the isoenzymes phosphoglucomutase, aconitase, and phosphoglucoisomerase. This study suggests that the G. Tomentella chromosome complement has been eliminated after genetic exchange and/or modification has taken place between the genomes.Journal Paper No. J-13776 of the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station, Ames, IA, USA, Project 2763 相似文献

Summary In a research program to transfer apomixis from Pennisetum squamulatum Fresen to pearl millet, P. americanum L. Leeke, a polyhaploid plant (2n=21) was discovered in the uniform open-pollinated progeny of an apomictic interspecific hybrid (2n = 41) between pearl millet and P. squamulatum. The polyhaploid was shorter, less vigorous and was smaller morphologically than its maternal parent. It probably originated by parthenogenetic development of a reduced gametophyte in the apomictic interspecific hybrid. The most common metaphase I chromosome association in the polyhaploid was 4 bivalents plus 13 univalents. Irregular chromosome distribution, tripolar spindles, bridges and fragments were observed at anaphase I and telophase I. The polyhaploid was male-sterile and partially female- fertile having multiple aposporous embryo sacs in 95% of the ovules. Seed set was 3% when open-pollinated and 33% when pollinated with pearl millet pollen. Low seed set was due to competition among multiple embryos developing in the same ovule. Seventeen progeny from seed produced under open-pollination on the polyhaploid each had 2n=21 chromosomes and were morphologically uniform and identical to the female parent. The expression of obligate apomixis in the polyhaploid conditioned by the P. squamulatum genome between the simplex and duplex condition indicates that apomictic reproduction is possible in nonpolyploid plants. 相似文献

Summary Intergeneric hybrids were produced between Diplotaxis siettiana and Brassica campestris through embryo rescue. The hybrids were completely pollen sterile and backcrosses with pollen of B. campestris did not yield any seeds. Induction of colchiploidy restored pollen fertility and backcross pollinations yielded viable seeds. Cytological details of the hybrid, amphidiploid and backcross progenies were studied. Both pollen-sterile and pollen-fertile plants have been obtained in backcross 2 progeny. This hybrid (D. siettiana x B. campestris) was used as a bridge cross to transfer the cytoplasm of D. Siettiana to two other incompatible cultivars of Brassica — B. juncea and B. napus. Pollinations of the amphidiploid (D. siettiana x B. campestris, 2n = 36) with pollen of B. juncea/B. napus readily produced seeds without embryo rescue. These hybrids were grown to flowering and their cytological details were studied. Seeds have been produced from backcross pollinations of both these hybrids with the pollen of the respective cultivars. The results clearly show the feasibility of producing alloplasmic lines in all the three oilseed brassicas. 相似文献

Two genotypes of Lotus tenuis Waldst & Kit. ex Willd. PI 204882, a diploid (2n = 2x = 12), were identified as producing 2n pollen (maximum = 6%). The objectives of this research were: (1) to determine the mechanism(s) of 2n pollen formation in the L. tenuis genotypes and (2) to morphologically describe n and 2n pollen using light and scanning electron microscopy. Meiotic studies revealed that 2n pollen resulted from tripolar spindles during anaphase II of microsporogenesis. The 2n pollen germinated well, although abnormal pollen tubes were observed. The genetic constitution of 2n pollen resulting from tripolar spindles is equivalent to first division restitution (FDR) of meiosis. Fresh and air-dried pollen samples exhibited differences in size and shape under light and scanning electron microscopy. The size of diploid (2n) pollen was larger than that of haploid (1n) pollen. Normal haploid (1n) pollen was globose-prolate in shape, while diploid (2n) pollen was tetrahedral in shape. 相似文献

Psathyrostachys juncea (2n = 2x = 14, NN), a source of barley yellow dwarf (BYDV) virus resistance with tolerance to drought and salinity, has been successfully hybridized in its autotetraploid form (2n = 4x = 28, NNNN) as the pollen parent to durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.). The 2n = 4x = 28 (ABNN) F1 hybrid has a mean meiotic metaphase-I configuration of 20.29 univalents + 0.29 ring bivalents + 3.36 rod bivalents + 0.14 trivalents. Spike length, internode length, glume awn length and lemma awn length, as well as the general spike morphology of the F1 hybrid, are intermediate with those of the two parents. Pollinating the ABNN F1 hybrid has given backcross (BC)-I derivatives of an amphiploid (AABBNN) that expresses limited self-fertility. BC-2 derivatives have been obtained from these plants. Direct transfers of useful genes from Ps. juncea to wheat would require substantial genetic manipulation strategies. Both conventional and novel methodologies, which may complement each other, and so facilitate reaching an agricultural objective end point, are addressed. 相似文献

Five species are recognized inHieracium subgen.Pilosella sect.Pilosellina
Fries. Four are diploid (2x, 2n = 18), one (H. pilosella L.) is highly variable morphologically and cytologically (from 2x to 10x), in its mode of reproduction (self-incompatibility, agamospermy, amphimixis, apo-amphimixis) and in its hybridization pattern. A part of this huge agamic complex was analysed by comparing sexual 4x and apomictic 5x plants (crossing and germination experiments, measurements of vegetative reproduction by stolons etc.). In the experimental garden apomictic 5x produced more stolons than the sexual 4x plants and the total length of the stolons per rosette was greater. However, in nature, the competitive potential of the sexual plants seems to be higher, presumably as a result of the higher mortality of ramets in 5x. Sexual 4x plants often grow in dense and grazed grass vegetation, whereas 5x apomicts often occur in dunes with patchy vegetation. Apomicts produce more capitula per rosette, and sexual rosettes form only about 60% of the number of viable achenes as compared to apomictic ones. Therefore, apomicts appear to be characterized by a greater colonizing ability than sexual plants. Apomictic plants produce equal numbers of viable achenes under conditions of both open pollination and isolation. Sexual plants do not form any viable achenes after isolation and produce a somewhat lower percentage of achenes after open pollination than do apomictics. 5xreproduce exclusively apomictically. Apo-amphimixis was never observed in pentaploids and only very rarely in tetraploids. Addition hybrids are very rare. The cross sexual 4x × apomictic 5x failed in 70% of the attempts, but the recombination of genomes carrying genes for apomixis is possible and results in apomictic 4x and sexual 5x, both with a reduced number of viable achenes. In nature sexual and apomictic plants may occur in close proximity. In such cases the germination rate of the achenes of 4x and 5x is lower; this may indicate that apomictic plants fertilize sexual plants in nature (unidirectional gene-flow). 5x plants form euploid gametes carrying two or three genomes. The results of the crossing experiments can be explained in terms ofNogler's theory of monogenic inheritance of apospory.Variation and evolution inHieracium subg.Pilosella sect.Pilosellina I. 相似文献

The size of pollen in the genus Hordeum (Poaceae) is correlated with ploidy level and breeding system. Generally, the pollen size increases with the ploidy level, and outbreeding species possess significantly larger pollen than inbreeders. In H. roshevitzii (2x), H. pusilplum (2x), H. murinum subsp. murinum (4x), and H. parodii (6x) pollen, heteromorphisms occur between the central and the lateral florets of the triplet. In all four taxa, pollen from florets in which the anthers are exserted is larger than pollen from florets where the anthers remain inside the floret. The biological consequences of heteromorphic pollen are discussed, and a model for the evolution of breeding strategies in Hordeum is suggested. 相似文献

MnNC-1008(NN) (referred to as MN-1008) is a tetraploid alfalfa mutant with two recessive genes (nn

)conditioning the non-nodulating trait. The tetraploid level (2n=4x=32) of this Medicago sativa germ plasm was reduced to the diploid (2n=2x=16) level using the 4x-2x genetic cross originally described as a workable method for the induction of haploidy in alfalfa by T. E. Bingham. In our experiments more than 7000 emasculated flowers of a single non-nodulating MN-1008 mutant alfalfa plant with purple petals were cross-pollinated with pollen from a single, diploid, yellow-flowered alfalfa plant. Mature seeds from these crosses were collected and germinated, after which the plants were subjected to morphological and cytogenetic analyses as well as to DNA fingerprinting. Out of 26 viable progeny, 6 were hybrid plants, 19 proved to be self-mated derivatives of MN-1008, while one descendant turned out to be a diploid (2n=2x=16), purple flowered, non-nodulating plant denoted as M. sativa DN-1008. This diploid, non-nodulating alfalfa plant can serve as starting material to facilitate the comprehensive morphological, physiological and genetic analysis (gene mapping and cloning) of nodulation in order to learn more about the biology of the symbiotic root nodule development. To produce diploid, nodulating hybrid F1 plants, DN-1008 was crossed with a diploid, yellow-flowered M. sativa ssp. quasifalcata plant. An F2 population segregating the nn

genes in a diploid manner, in which the genetic analysis is more simple than in a tetraploid population, can be established by self-mating of the F1 plants. 相似文献
