I spent 6 hours last night, reading through your posts and others articles regarding nonreducing gametes. thanks so much for the reply.
the cultivar "implausibility" is extremely interesting , but I am confused . how can a triploid even create a gamete how many pairs does it create?
Nick Chase felt it was a 2N gamete from 'Europa' that combined with an unreduced 2N gamete from Ed Murray that produced a 4N tetraploid offspring. but what happens at the other pole?
3/2=n/a
just focusing on fulva the egg is some how a 2n? do triploid always give off 2n? or can it be haploid just one set?
Are there anyother daylilies with claimed unreduced gamete production besides ed murray?
did Arisumi test ed murray?
another note.
from the article
RESEARCH ARTICLE
Ploidy variation and karyotype analysis in
Hemerocallis
spp. (Xanthorrhoeaceae)
and implications on daylily breeding
Most Chinese cultivars were diploid; only one was tetraploid. Among the 29 wild genotypes
collected from the Taihang Mountain range, 13 (45%) were triploid and 16 (55%) were diploid; no tetraploids were identified.
given that wild triploids do occur in nature. I would assume give an isolated population. of both dips and trips . Unreduced gametes would have to exist. how else would we have trips naturally?
I should have used the the word conflicting not misleading in regards to colchicine.
Ive read multiple clinical trials that suggest that it is not carcinogenic however, its has been suggested to me many times that in fact it is.
also. Im trying to track down the first hose-in-hose daylily . but i could only find double golden eagle from 48 I believe?
