Tetraploid analysis of duo1 and duo2
Frequency of normal (wild type) and mutant (duo) pollen grains in putative tetraploid sectors induced in duo heterozygotes. The expected frequencies of normal and mutant pollen arising from duplex duo alleles in tetraploid plants are shown assuming no double reduction. *, X2 values indicating no significant difference from a 1:5 ratio (X2 < x0.05[1]2 = 3.84).
| Mutant | Observed/Expected | Wild Type | duo | X2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| duo1 | Observed | 78 | 19 | - |
| Duplex, duo1 recessive | 81 | 16 | 0.678* | |
| duo2 | Observed | 144 | 31 | - |
| Duplex, duo2 recessive | 167 | 29 | 3.305* |
