e0“Based on megasporogenesis, we deduce that the endosperm of 3 x × 2 x is 7 x and that of 3 x × 4 x is 8 x in Lilium and conclude that the aneuploid embryo survival of 3 x × 2 x /4 x in Lilium is the result of the euploid endosperm.”

- Observation Fruits fully developed in all triploid by diploid or tetraploid lily crosses.
- Observation Triploid by diploid or tetraploid lily crosses yielded seedlings.
- Observation The progeny of these crosses were predominantly aneuploid.
- Observation The inferred endosperm ploidy in 3x by 4x Lilium crosses was 8x.
- Mechanism The authors attribute aneuploid embryo survival to euploid endosperm.
- Recommendation The authors suggest male-sterile autotriploid lilies as female parents.
- Recommendation The authors propose aneuploids from these crosses as cultivar-breeding material.
