Breeding Triploid Plants: A Review

Wang X., Cheng Z.-M., Zhi S., Xu F. (2016): Breeding triploid plants: a review. Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 52: 41–54. Triploid plants have larger organs, greater biomass, and strong stress resistance by preserving relatively larger amounts of photosynthetic energy. The undesirable spread of non-native invasive crop and horticultural plants into natural areas can also be reduced or eliminated...

These may appear on sawed materials as individual lenticular streaks of various lengths paralleling the grain or as mass discolo...
