Abstract
The main objective of the present study was to identify chromosome number variation in the progenies from triploid × diploid/tetraploid (3x × 2x/4x) crosses in Lilium to analyze the survival of aneuploid embryos from 3x × 2x/4x crosses and the potential significance of triploid for lily breeding. Two male-sterile autotriploid Asiatic lily cultivars were crossed with four diploid and/or two autotetraploid Asiatic cultivars. The results showed that the fruits of all triploid × diploid/tetraploid (3 x × 2 x /4 x ) crosses fully developed, and seedlings were obtained from the 3 x × 2 x /4 x crosses, indicating that male-sterile autotriploid lilies can be used as female parents. Chromosome preparation showed that the progenies of the 3 x × 2 x /4 x are predominantly aneuploid. 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. Lily is usually propagated by scaling or tissue culture; therefore, aneuploids obtained from triploid × diploid/tetraploid lilies would be a good source for cultivar breeding.
