Research Abstract |
Genetic maps of diplospory(D) and parthenogenesis(P) gene loci were constructed by linkage analysis with AFLP, RAPD and ISSR markers in the heteroploid population(BC1) in Chinese chive. Degrees of diplospory and parthenogenesis were evaluated in the diploid-hyperdiploid population(BC2) produced by the cross between amphimictic diploid and apomictic hypotriploid BC1 plants. As the results, four plants with low diplospory values and one plant with relatively high parthenogenesis value were identified. By the Feulgen staining of root tip cells in the parthenogenetic plant, it was revealed that this plant was a trisomic(2n=17, 2x+1), which indicates that the P locus is located on the additional chromosome.
