Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: 2 n megagametophyte formation plays an important role in polyploidization in polyembryonic citrus and is valuable for plant improvement. Tetraploid plants are frequently observed in the seedlings of diploid polyembryonic citrus genotypes. However, the mechanisms underlying the formation of tetraploids are still indistinct when apomictic citrus genotypes are used as female parent to cross with...
