Abstract

Microsporogenesis associated with seed yield in Urochloa sexual polyploid hybrids

Highlights

  • An extensive grazing system is the basis of Brazilian livestock production, where approximately 95% of the animals are raised in pastures, both for the production of beef and dairy cattle (Araújo et al 2017)

  • This study investigated whether meiotic irregularities in sexual polyploid hybrids of Urochloa may produce inviable seeds

  • The production of viable pure seeds by the sexual polyploid hybrids of Urochloa is relevant for breeding programs at Embrapa Beef Cattle

Summary

Introduction

An extensive grazing system is the basis of Brazilian livestock production, where approximately 95% of the animals are raised in pastures, both for the production of beef and dairy cattle (Araújo et al 2017). This study investigated whether meiotic irregularities in sexual polyploid hybrids of Urochloa may produce inviable seeds.
