Spontaneous Chromosome Aberrations in Triploid Tradescantia Hybrids.
T HAS recently been found that chromosome aberrations of the types I induced by various kinds of radiations occur spontaneously during the development of the pollen grains in diploid species and especially in species hybrids of Tradescantia (GILES 1940). The present studies have shown that the frequency of these aberrations is even higher in triploid Tradescantia hybrids. Furthermore, it has be...
متن کاملChromosome Behavior in Fertile Triploid Aster Hybrids.
HE sterility of triploids and other unbalanced polyploids is generally conT ceded to be a consequence of irregularities in the distribution of univalents and multivalents at meiosis. Occasional viable gametes are produced, however, because of nonrandom orientation and segregation of chromosome associations. Thus, SATINA and BLAKESLEE (1937a, b) found a higher frequency of n and 2n chromosome nu...
متن کاملNonadditive gene expression in diploid and triploid hybrids of maize.
The molecular basis of hybrid vigor (heterosis) has remained unknown despite the importance of this phenomenon in evolution and in practical breeding programs. To formulate a molecular basis of heterosis, an understanding of gene expression in inbred and hybrid states is needed. In this study, we examined the amount of various transcripts in hybrid and inbred individuals (B73 and Mo17) to deter...
متن کاملDeficit Irrigation Influences Yield and Lycopene Content of Diploid and Triploid Watermelon
Many vegetable production regions in the southwestern US are strictly regulated on water use. In addition, demand for high quality and nutritious vegetables has increased. This study was performed to explore the effects of deficit irrigation on yield, fruit quality and lycopene content of red-fleshed diploid and triploid watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb) Matsum & Nakai) cultivars. Irrigatio...
متن کاملGenomic dosage effects on heterosis in triploid maize.
The genetic basis of hybrid vigor or heterosis has been debated for more than a century. A popular hypothesis to explain this phenomenon is that there are different slightly deleterious recessive homozygous alleles in the two parents and that these alleles are complemented in the hybrid so that the biomass and fertility exceed both parents. To address the complementation hypothesis in a direct ...
