Eighteen triploids were generated from GA 3-induced 2n pollen. Thus, GA 3 can be exploited as a novel mutagen to induce flowering plants to generate diploid male gametes. Our findings provide some new ...

In Arabidopsis thaliana, Henry et al. (2005) produced a swarm of different aneuploids by self-pollination of triploids, and revealed that chromosome composition and dosage variation strongly result in ...
