Segregation for sexual seed production in Paspalum as directed by male gametes of apomictic triploid plants.

Background And Aims: Gametophytic apomixis is regularly associated with polyploidy. It has been hypothesized that apomixis is not present in diploid plants because of a pleiotropic lethal effect associated with monoploid gametes. Rare apomictic triploid plants for Paspalum notatum and P.
