Evolution, Vol. 71, No. 2 (FEBRUARY 2017), pp. 215-226 (12 pages) Many organisms spend a significant portion of their life cycle as haploids and as diploids (a haploid–diploid life cycle). However, ...
Haploid plants, which carry only a single set of chromosomes, are typically sterile, making them valuable but difficult to ...
Life cycles require the creation of an autonomous individual, that individual’s growth and that individual’s reproduction In ...
Stem cell research holds huge potential for medicine and human health. In particular, human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), with their ability to turn into any cell in the human body, are essential to ...
You may have heard of haploid and diploid species, which carry one set of unpaired chromosomes, or two sets chromosomes, respectively. Human beings are diploid, for example. But cultivated oats (Avena ...
We show that the social bees, Melipona quadrifasciata, produce a 1:1 ratio of diploid males and females by inbreeding, as is the case for Apis mellifera. However, the Apis diploid males are totally ...
The use of haploid induction in crop breeding offers a transformative approach to accelerating the development of new, highly uniform cultivars. By generating plants with a single set of chromosomes ...
Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...
A common strategy to create high-yielding plants is hybrid breeding. However, getting the inbred lines in the first place can be a hassle. In maize, the use of so-called 'haploid inducers' provides a ...
