. Polyploidy may be caused by fertilization of an egg by more than one sperm failure of meiosis during gamete formation. Polyploidy can artificially be introduced by a chemical called colchicine or by crossing diploids with tetraploids. Although triploids exhibit sterility, polyploidy is useful in ..

Designer Plants - Many years ago, Frederick Steward and his co-workers cultured cells from carrot plants and induced some of them to develop into small embryos. Some of these embryos grew into whole plants. Today, researchers routinely regenerate crops, plants..

Selection is an important technique in plant breeding. It involves picking the healthiest and the best ones out of the entire crop and reproducing them under controlled condition..

It is a cross involving two pairs of contrasting characters. For this experiments on dihybrid inheritance. Mendel selected the contrasting characters in the seed coat and cotyledons. He conducted a cross pollination between a pure breeding plant with round seed coat and ye..
