Abstract excerpt
It was found that, in some of the plants in generations C1-C5 of induced tetraploids in the semisterile sorghum line AS-1-30, more than 30% of pollen grains (PGs) have sizes typical of haploid PGs. Pollen of these plants was used to pollinate different lines of sorghum with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS). Diploid hybrids were obtained, which confirms the presence of haploid PGs in the tetraploids studied. When...
