A survey of apomixis and ploidy levels among Poa L. (Poaceae) using flow cytometry
Poa is a complex genus taxonomically and genetically. As a result, relatively little information exists for this economically important genus with regards to reproductive mode and variability in chromosome number. We examined apomixis frequency and ploidy levels in 83 Poa accessions representing 33 species from the National Plant Germplasm System using fl ow cytometric techniques. In reproducti...
متن کاملdetermination of ploidy levels of some populations of agropyron cristatum (poaceae) in iran by flow cytometry
flow cytometry (fcm) was used to determine the ploidy levels of six different populationsof agropyron cristatum (l.) gaertn. (poaceae) in iran, using a diploid cultivated barley (hordeumvulgare l.) as an internal reference. according to flow cytometric data, tetraploid (2n = ± 28) andhexaploid (2n = ± 42) levels were detected among the examined populations and these results weresupported by chr...
متن کاملAn updated checklist and key to the open-panicled species of Poa L. (Poaceae) in Peru including three new species, Poa ramoniana, Poa tayacajaensis, and Poa urubambensis
We provide an updated checklist and key to the 30 Poa species with open panicles from Peru which includes previously circumscribed Dissanthelium and Aphanelytrum species, new taxon records, and three undescribed species. Poa compressa, Poa grisebachii, and Poa leioclada are recorded from Peru for the first time. A number of species are placed in synonymy: Poa carazensis, Poa ferreyrae and Poa t...
متن کاملA revision of Poa subsection Aphanelytrum (Poaceae, Pooideae, Poaeae, Poinae); and a new species, Poa auriculata
In this study the peculiar Andean grass genus Aphanelytrum, with two species, is reduced to Poa subsect. Aphanelytrum comb. & stat. nov. A third species, Festuca reclinata, is assigned to the subsection, which shows states transitional between a more typical Poa and Aphanelytrum. Poa subgen. Poa supersect. Homalopoa sect. Dioicopoa subsect. Aphanelytrum comb. & stat. nov. is characterized in ha...
متن کاملSERK and APOSTART. Candidate genes for apomixis in Poa pratensis.
Seed production generally requires the mating of opposite sex gametes. Apomixis, an asexual mode of reproduction, avoids both meiotic reduction and egg fertilization. The essential feature of apomixis is that an embryo is formed autonomously by parthenogenesis from an unreduced egg of an embryo sac generated through apomeiosis. If apomixis were well understood and harnessed, it could be exploit...
