Formation of unreduced gametes is impeded by homologous chromosome pairing in tetraploid Triticum turgidum × Aegilops tauschii hybrids
It is believed that unreduced gametes with somatic chromosome numbers play a predominant role in natural polyploidization. Allohexaploid bread wheat originated from spontaneous hybridization of Triticum turgidum ...

Evidences for the control of chromosome number variation by a programmed-cell-death-like pathway in citrus callus
Chromosome number variations were found in citrus callus induced from diploid genotypes. Further cytological examination of single-protoplast-derived cell lines showed that these chromosome number variations a...
