Abstract excerpt
The reduction of inner (adaxial) pollen sacs (microsporangia, MS) as a diagnostic character for the three asteracean species, Microseris bigelovii, Microseris elegans and Microseris pygmaea, was analysed in an interspecific cross between Microseris douglasii and Microseris bigelovii with 4 MS and 2 MS, respectively, using the average number of MS per plant as a quantitative character. A previous QTL (Quantitative...
