Pollen can then be collected for selfing with the original pistillate parent.

If pollen from these few staminate flowers forming on a pistillate plant is applied to a pure pistillate seed parent, the resulting F1 generation should be almost all pistillate with only a few pistillate hermaphrodites.

Pollen can then be collected for selfing with the original pistillate parent.

Since the fertilization takes place inside the body of a female, it is called internal fertilization.

Eggs are laid on the ceiling surfaces of caves and are protected by the females.

Hybridization (crossing) is usually accomplished by manually removing the anthers from the flowers of the designated female parent and subsequently transferring mature pollen from the designated male parent.

According to Merriam-Webster, a mother is defined as “a female parent … (having) maternal tenderness or affection.

The present invention relates to DYAD genes, mutants thereof, and use of them for making plants that retain heterozygosity of the female parent plant.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary ‘mother’ describes ‘a female parent; maternal tenderness or affection’.

The invention also encompasses plants, plant tissues, and seeds of plants that have a dyad phenotype and so retain heterozygosity of the female parent, either constitutively or conditionally.

As we know already, all information transmitted from generation to generation must be contained in the pollen of the staminate parent and the ovule of the pistillate parent.

The invention relates to a hybrid plant obtained by crossbreeding a plant described herein as the male parent and another plant, Brassica Ogura CMS, as the female parent, as well to the method for producing such a plant.

Controlled hand pollinations are then made by exposing the ear shoot on the selected female parent and covering it with the bag containing pollen from the selected male parent.

Chloroplasts have their own DNA; these genes are inherited only through the female parent, and are independent of nuclear genes.

Also the F1 hybrids of lower THC (resembling the staminate parent) were twice as frequent as the higher THC hybrids (resembling the pistillate parent).
