formation. In particular, self-incompatible citrus varieties combined with sufficient …

Genome duplication or polyploidy is one of the main factors of speciation in plants. It is
especially frequent in hybrids and very valuable in many crops. The genus Annona belongs …

Background Restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) has the potential to be a
broadly applicable, low-cost approach for high-quality genetic linkage mapping in forest …

Polyploid citrus arise by somatic and sexual polyploidization, and both have been used in
triploid breeding programs. Sexual polyploidization is mainly achieved by first-division …

The vegetative cell of the angiosperm male gametophyte (pollen) functions as a free-living,
single-celled organism that both produces and transports sperm to egg. Whole-genome …

Mandarins including clementines, tangerines, satsumas, willowleaf, tangors and tangelos
