Abstract excerpt
Semigamy is a rare fertilization anomaly in plants that enables haploid induction (HI), a valuable strategy for accelerating crop breeding; however, its molecular basis remains largely unexplored. We investigated transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms underlying semigamy mutant VSg in island cotton (Gossypium barbadense), which exhibits a high haploid induction rate during double fertilization. We combined...
