Pollen performance under controlled temperatures and chromosome stability of diploid and tetraploid citrus
Our findings demonstrate that tetraploidy influences several aspects of citrus pollen performance, while genomic stability remains largely preserved in colchicine-induced genotypes. These results provide new insights into the reproductive biology of citrus polyploids under different temperature scenarios and reinforce the potential use of tetraploid parents in triploid breeding programs.
