Abstract:
Genetic mapping efforts in apomicts date back several decades, but significant progress only became possible with the application of molecular mapping tools. In this chapter, we present the approaches that have been taken to apply these techniques to apomictic species, the necessary experimental steps, caveats associated with interpreting the data, and potential new marker approaches. A brief overview of our understanding of the genetics of natural apomixis is also presented.

02:27Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
