Book ChapterDOI
Genetics of Angiosperm Pollen
E. Ottaviano,David L. Mulcahy +1 more
TL;DR: Pollen competition may play a significant role in the adaptive capacities of the angiosperms, as this group possesses three characteristics, which enhance pollen tube competition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollen Tube Growth Rates in Zea mays: Implications for Genetic Improvement of Crops.
TL;DR: Speed of pollen tube growth is positively correlated with the quality of the resultant sporophytic generation, therefore, gametophytic competition may be an important adaptive mechanism and pollenTube growth rates may be used to predict thequality of F1 crosses in crop species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extent of gametophytic-sporophytic gene expression in maize.
TL;DR: To determine the extent of gametophytic gene expression and the type of transcription, haploid or haplo-diploid, of the genes, isozymes were used as genetic markers and fifteen enzymatic systems, including thirty-four isoz enzymes, were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular markers (RFLPs and HSPs) for the genetic dissection of thermotolerance in maize.
TL;DR: The effect of HSPs on the variability of the CMS was tested for a low-molecular-weight peptide (HSP-17) showing presence-absence of segregation in the B73 × Pa33 F2 population, and the effect was not significant, indicating either that the polypeptide is not involved in the determination of the character or that its effect is not statistically detectable.
