Paspalum plicatulum Michx. is a wild forage grass species. The common races are tetraploid and apomictic, while sexual diploid representatives have been reported sporadically. Objectives of this study were to induce 4 x individuals from diploids, determine the capacity for hybridization with other apomictic species closely related P. , thus create material cross compatible Plicatula group . Two induced plants recovered germinating 2 seeds treated 24 h colchicine. Bivalent quadrivalent...

Grama-tio-pedro (Paspalum oteroi Swallen) is a rare stoloniferous grass of the Plicatula group Paspalum, well adapted to continuous grazing in areas subject seasonal flooding Pantanal region, central western Brazil. The species facultative apomictic (asexual reproduction by seed) tetraploid, sporadically cultivated on farms, propagated either cuttings or seed. Due its potential for extensive cultivation and forage quality, appears as candidate genetic improvement within through plant...

ABSTRACT The Plicatula group of the grass genus Paspalum contains about 30 species. Most are tetraploid and reproduce by apomixis, though some them contain sexual diploid races. We crossed a colchicine‐induced autotetraploid plant brownseed paspalum (Paspalum plicatulum Michx.) with apomictic P. guenoarum Arechav., also from group. Crossability was 35% progeny showed morphological characteristics intermediate to those parents but resembling more male parent. random amplified polymorphic DNA...

Traditionally, tetraploid Paspalum notatum was considered an obligate or a facultative apomict according to cytoembryological analyses. The degree of facultativeness usually determined by the relative amount mature ovules bearing aposporous meiotic (sexual) embryo sacs, both together. We established, through progeny tests conducted with aid AFLP markers, residual sexuality expressed in four selected biotypes. results showed it be substantially and significantly lower than predicted previous...

The diploid cytotype of Paspalum rufum (Poaceae) reproduces sexually and is self-sterile; however, recurrent autopolyploidization through 2n + n fertilization the ability for reproduction via apomixis have been documented in one genotype species. objectives this work were to analyse variation functionality components genotypes P. identify individuals with contrasting reproductive behaviours. Samples five from each three natural populations (designated R2, R5 R6) used. Seeds obtained after...

Aposporous apomictic plants form clonal maternal seeds by inducing the emergence of non-reduced (2n) embryo sacs in ovule nucellus and development embryos parthenogenesis. In previous work, we reported a plant-specific TRIMETHYLGUANOSINE SYNTHASE 1 (TGS1) gene (PN_TGS1-like) showing expression levels positively correlated with sexuality rates facultative Paspalum notatum. PN_ TGS1-like displayed contrasting situ hybridization patterns sexual plant ovules from premeiosis to anthesis. Here...

Abstract Background Despite representing the largest fraction of animal life, number insect species whose genome has been sequenced is barely in hundreds. The order Dermaptera (the earwigs) suffers from a lack genomic information despite its unique position as one basally derived groups and importance agroecosystems. As part national educational outreach program genomics, plan was formulated to engage participation high school students sequencing project. Students twelve schools across Chile...

Progeny tests employing molecular markers allow the identification of individuals originated by sexual means among offspring a facultative apomict. The objective this work was to evaluate effect pollination timing on proportion sexually formed in progenies apomictic Paspalum notatum genotype. families approx. 30 plants each were generated at five different times: 1–3 d pre‐anthesis; anthesis; and 2, 4 6 post‐anthesis. Cytoembryological analyses indicated that 17 % ovules carried meiotic...
