Use of 2n Gametes in Plant Breeding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genome doubling (polyploidization) has played a major role in the evolution and diversification of the plant kingdom and is regarded as an important mechanism of speciation and adaptation in plants (Otto & Whitton, 2000). The term ploidy refers to the number of basic chromosome sets (represented by ‘x’) present in a somatic plant cell (2n) or gamete (n). Scaling whole sets of chromosomes up or down is a powerful and commonly applied strategy to produce altered genotypes for breeding purposes.

Interspecific Hybridisation and Polyploidisation as Tools in Ornamental Plant Breeding
Interspecific hybridisation and polyploidy are recognized as the most important sources of evolution and domestication of flowering plants. In ornamental plant breeding these phenomena go hand in hand and can be observed in the breeding history of many ornamental crops (Rosa, Chrysanthemum, Gladiolus, Alstroemeria, Lilium, orchids etc). With lily as model crop techniques developed for overcomin...
متن کاملComplete asynapsis resulting in 2n pollen formation in Paspalum jesuiticum Parodi (Poaceae).
Cytological investigation revealed complete asynapsis during microsporogenesis in 2 wild accessions of Paspalum jesuiticum collected in distinct Brazilian regions. Both accessions were hexaploid (2n = 6x = 60) and 60 univalents could be counted at diakinesis. In this phase, the majority of meiocytes exhibited univalents with both chromatids. After alignment at the metaphase plate, the chromatid...

r The ratio of the first division restitution (FDR) to second division restitution (SDR) 2n eggs was estimated in 4182t, a haploid (2n = 2x = 24) of Solanum tuberosum L. that produces 2n eggs by the two modes. The segregation of three genes previously mapped relative to their centromeres, Pgm-2 (2.0 cM), Mdh-1 (33.5 cM), and 6-Pgdh-3 (30.1 cM) was analyzed in the tetraploid offspring of a 2x x ...

Unreduced (2n) gametes have played a pivotal role in polyploid plant evolution and are useful for sexual polyploid breeding in various species, particularly for developing new seedless citrus varieties. The underlying mechanisms of 2n gamete formation were recently revealed for Citrus reticulata but remain poorly understood for other citrus species, including lemon (C. limon [L.] Burm. f.). Her...

The commercial potato is an autotetraploid species. Certain allotetraploid species such as S. acaule despite theire identical ploidy level are not crossable with commercial potato due to their different endosperm balance numbers. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the possibility of germplasm transferring from allotetraploid species to cultivated potato by the use of diploid species ...
