The breeding of tropical fruit trees for improving fruit traits is complicated, due to the long
juvenile phase, generation cycle, parthenocarpy, polyploidy, polyembryony, heterozygosity …

Environmental change, accelerated by anthropogenic activities, threatens many species and
can be especially challenging for rare species given their potentially limited capacity for …

Polyploidy is a ubiquitous process in angiosperms, arising from autopolyploidy or
allopolyploidy. However, few natural polyploid complexes in tropical regions have been well …

The rapid pace of contemporary environmental change puts many species at risk, especially
rare species constrained by limited capacity to adapt or migrate due to low genetic diversity …

Polyploidy is defined as the presence of more than two complete chromosome sets in an
organism and has frequently occurred throughout the history of angiosperms …

Abstract The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened biomes in the world. Here, we use
a common set of microsatellite markers to assess the genetic diversity and population …

In this study, we characterized DArTseq-derived SNPs for species of Psidium, an important
Neotropical genus within the family Myrtaceae. Nine Psidium species were used for the …

In apomictic pseudogamous reproduction, the asexual embryo requires a sexual origin of
the endosperm for its nutrition; hence, fertilization is necessary for seed development to …

Apomixis is a difficult-to-analyse trait with a complex molecular basis and a substantive
effect on the biology of a species. Thus, apomixis is an interesting characteristic for …

Polyploidy, a numerical alteration of the karyotype, is one of the most important mechanisms
in plant speciation and diversification, but could also be detected among populations, the …
