Apomictic monosomic addition line M14 of Beta corolliflora Zoss. was the progeny from the hybridization of Beta corolliflora Zoss. and Beta vulgaris L. in sugar beet. Constituted of the normal 18 Beta vulgaris L. chromosomes with the No.9 chromosome of Beta corolliflora Zoss., M14 was found having a chromosome transmission frequency 96.5%. Thus M14 is one of the best materials for research of apomixis.
298 specifically expressed ESTs were obtained from M14 in our lab, contrasted to a control o...
