    Understanding the genetic architecture of a quantitative trait in gymnosperms by genoty** haploid megagametophytes

    The gymnosperms are a group of plants characterized by a haploid female gametophyte (megagametophyte). With the function of bearing the female gametes and nourishing the develo** embryo, the megagametophyte ...
