Observations on Sterility of Induced Autotetraploid Watermelons1

R. L. Lower; K. W. Johnson Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science 1969. doi:10.21273/jashs.94.4.367

Other claims from this paper (13)

Intervention effect Colchicine seed soaking was more effective than growing-point treatment at producing autotetraploid watermelons.
Observation Diploid pollen appeared more viable than tetraploid pollen.
Observation A small percentage of tetraploid pollen produced multiple normal-sized or one bifurcated pollen tube.
Observation Germinating diploid pollen produced only one unbranched pollen tube.
Intervention effect Tetraploid plants failed to set fruit after pollination with tetraploid pollen.
Intervention effect Tetraploid plants set fruit after pollination with diploid pollen.
Observation Diploid meiosis was regular.
Observation Tetraploid meiosis showed irregularities.
Observation Some tetraploid pollen mother cells contained microsporocytes in addition to four microspores at the quartette stage.
Observation Tetraploid and diploid megaspores showed no apparent differences in preliminary observations.
Observation Tetraploids still produced sufficient apparently viable pollen despite meiotic irregularities.
Mechanism The authors associated abnormal quartettes and lower tetraploid pollen viability with meiotic irregularities.
Mechanism A physiological cause of autotetraploid watermelon self-sterility was suggested.

Other claims from this paper (8)

Observation Trehalose levels were elevated in the fungal mutants.
Intervention effect The MtDH mutant did not reduce tobacco lesion severity versus wild type.
Intervention effect The MPDH mutant caused significantly less disease.
Intervention effect The double mutant caused significantly less disease.
Observation The double mutant still germinated and formed appressoria on tobacco leaves.
Observation The double mutant elicited a host defense response.
Mechanism The authors conclude mannitol biosynthesis is required for A. alternata pathogenesis on tobacco.
Mechanism The authors conclude mannitol biosynthesis is not required for spore germination or initial infection.

Other claims from this paper (12)

Observation Flavonols and chs mRNA were abundant in male and female reproductive organs.
Observation The chs promoter and flavonol synthesis were spatially and temporally regulated in stigma, style and ovules.
Intervention effect Antisense inhibition of chs blocked flavonol biosynthesis.
Intervention effect Flavonol absence rendered mutant plants self sterile.
Mechanism Flavonol production in either anthers or pistils was required for pollen tube growth.
Mechanism Flavonol production in either anthers or pistils was required for seed set.
Observation Mutant pollen tubes ruptured after a short period in vitro and pollen grains died.
Intervention effect Flavonol aglycones rescued the mutant pollen tube phenotype.
Intervention effect Other flavonoids did not rescue the mutant pollen tube phenotype.
Observation Wild type pollen tubes contained high flavonol levels throughout.
Observation Flavonols were not detected in growing tube exine or cell wall.
Intervention effect Apigenin completely inhibited pollen tube growth.
