• Background and Aims Polyploidy is a dominant feature of flowering-plant genomes, including those of many important crop species. Arachis is a largely diploid genus with just four polyploid species.
If P and Q are the respective population frequencies of sexual and apomictic diploids in a given generation, and s is the viability disadvantage of the diploid apomicts relative to the sexual diploids ...
An experiment was conducted to elucidate the origin of tetraploids (2n = 4x = 44) of Paragonimus westermani that occur together with diploid (2n = 2x = 22) and triploid (2n = 3x = 33) types in ...
The origin of triploid export banana cultivars was investigated. They all belong to Cavendish and Gros Michel subgroups of triploid clones and have a monospecific Musa acuminata origin. The appearance ...
“Time is of the essence” is a phrase that applies in many walks of life and certainly has applicability in the field of scientific research. Whether one is a graduate student preparing a critical ...
There’s an old adage about oysters: During months whose names don’t contain the letter r—May, June, July, and August—it’s best to stay away. An oyster eaten outside these months should have a ...
If you slurped down any oysters on the half-shell this summer, you probably didn’t realize they were monsters. Not monsters in the pejorative sense, but man made creatures—the invention of a ...
Adult genome was reprogrammed to pluripotency following transfer to oocyte that retains its own haploid genome. Scientists have demonstrated that it is possible to reprogram the genome from a fully ...
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — One of the northbound lanes on Woolridge Road at Swift Creek Reservoir will be closed tomorrow — and something fishy is going on. The closure is expected to happen ...
