Translocation of a parthenogenesis gene candidate to an alternate copyright chromosome in apomictic Brachiaria humidicola
Abstract Background The apomictic reproductive mode of Brachiaria (syn.Urochloa) forage magnussen kentwood species allows breeders to faithfully propagate heterozygous genotypes through seed over multiple generations.In Brachiaria, reproductive mode segregates as single dominant locus, the apospory-specific genomic region (ASGR).The AGSR has been m
