Title
Gene Segregation in Autotetraploids: Prediction from Meiotic Configurations
R. C. Jackson; Jeff W. Jackson American Journal of Botany 1996. doi:10.2307/2445844
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Neither existing segregation method predicts an acceptable fit for segregation of the d gene in tomato.
- Method / resource The new meiotic configuration method gives more accurate estimations of all intermediate types of segregation in autotetraploids.
- Observation The interspecific tetraploid hybrid Solanum lycopersicum × S. pimpinellifolium had good fits to expected autotetraploid segregation.
- Recommendation Taxonomic rank should not be a consideration in designating categories of polyploids.
- Method / resource Allozyme segregation data for several genes in one genus of another family had acceptable and usually better fits to the MC expectations than to the standard methods.
