SSRs, also called microsatellites, are a type of repetitive DNA sequence ubiquitous in most …

Production of viable male unreduced gametes in Brassica interspecific hybrids is genotype specific and stimulated by cold temperatures

AS Mason, MN Nelson, G Yan, WA Cowling - BMC plant biology, 2011 - Springer
