Abstract
Triploid individuals in maize occur through the fertilization of diploid or unreduced eggs by haploid sperm. The diploid eggs have arisen by complete non-disjunction of the entire chromosome set during meiosis or through non-disjunction during one of the three mitotic divisions of the female gametophyte. In either of these eventualities, however, the female gamete carried the diploid number of chromosomes.
