Several genotypes of Lolium perenne (2n = 2x = 14) were screenedfor the production of 2n eggs. In each cross a diploid genotype, used asfemale parent, was pollinated with a tetraploid genotype. All interploidycrosses were made in isolation cages. Flow cytometrical analysis of theprogeny of 154 diploid plants revealed 28 tetraploid descendants. Theseoffspring plants were harvested on 15 different diploid mother plants.Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used tocheck the parenthood of these tetraploids. Two seedlings died, theremaining plants could, after AFLP fingerprinting, be identified as meiotictetraploids. The results obtained allowed to conclude that the tetraploidprogeny plants harvested on 15 diploid mother plants were the result ofthe fertilisation of an unreduced egg by a reduced pollen grain of thetetraploid plant. |
