Abstract n this thesis, I describe several cytogenetic tools to study numerical and structural
chro-mosome aberrations of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytus) and Arabidopsis …

Pseudogamous gametophytic apomixis in flowering plants can be a flexible type of asexual
reproduction because pollination is required. Ploidy-level changes are possible if a …

Sexual polyploidization, as a result of 2n gamete formation, is thought to be the main
process involved in the origin of polyploid plants (Bretagnolle & Thompson, 1995). These …

In cauliflower Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis cv. Kibo Giant, patterns of seed abortion and
development within developing siliques are nonrandom. All ovules were fertilized from 14 …

To gain a preliminary understanding of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in cauliflower NKC-
A, seven primer pairs were designed to amplify atpa, atp6, atp9, coxI, coxII, orfB and orf224 …

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a major forage legume crop with diploid and tetraploid
cultivars. Seed yield is an important trait in red clover, but the underlying reasons for low …

Polyploidy is an important event and major force in plant speciation. Amongst the polyploids,
allopolyploids have attracted special attention to investigate genetic and epigenetic …
