Unreduced Male Gamete Formation in Cymbidium and Its Use for Developing Sexual Polyploid Cultivars
Polyploidy plays an important role in crop improvement.Polyploid plants, particularly those produced through unreduced gametes (2n gametes), show increased organ size, improved buffering capacity for deleterious mutations, and enhanced heterozygosity and heterosis.Induced polyploidy has been widely used for improving floriculture crops, however, th
