This project explores the genetic mechanisms behind polyploidization in plants, particularly focusing on overcoming reproductive barriers known as the triploid block. By identifying genes involved in this process, the research aims to enhance our understanding of plant speciation and fertility.
Polyploidization is a widespread phenomenon among plants and is considered a major speciation mechanism.
Before becoming evolutionary successful, newly formed polyploids often have to overcome fertility bottlenecks, because mating with partners of lower ploidy causes incompatibilities in the endosperm leading to the formation of mainly non-viable progeny.
This reproductive barrier is called the triploid block.
Nevertheless, the most frequent route to polyploid formation is probably through unred…
