Polyploidization of plants occurs in nature but it is a slow and gradual process that has
driven evolution and speciation throughout the ages. As time is important, polyploidization …

Triploid plants have larger organs, greater biomass, and strong stress resistance by
preserving relatively larger amounts of photosynthetic energy. The undesirable spread of …

Hongkong kumquat (Fortunella hindsii) is a wild citrus species characterized by dwarf plant
height and early flowering. Here, we identified the monoembryonic F. hindsii (designated as …

Contemporary plant breeders no longer need to rely solely on traditional methodologies in
their work of assuring a sustainable and elastic level of world food production. However …

Embryo rescue (ER) techniques are among the oldest and most successful in vitro tissue
culture protocols used with plant species. ER refers to a series of methods that promote the …

Citrus fruits (sweet orange, mandarin, pummelo, grapefruit, lemon, lime and assorted
