Abstract
Dihaploid derivatives of 4x Rosa hybrida L. obtained through parthenogenesis induced by irradiated pollen significantly produce 2n eggs,often accompanied by gametes with higher ploidy levels (3x and 4x). The gamete ploidy level distribution depends on the originating genotype. The ploidy level of the male parent affects the maternal /paternal ratio in the endosperm, which can be involved in the counter-selection of triploid genotypes resulting from the crosses made between dihaploid and 4x Rosa hybrida.The observed segregation ratios of flower doubleness in triploid progenies of dihaploids × R. wichuraianasuggest that the relevant locus could be positioned far from the centromere.
