Parent-of-origin dependent and independent genome dosage effects on salt tolerance in A. thaliana. There is a parent-of-origin independent genome dosage effect on salt stress tolerance in Bur-0, Col-0, TAL07, Wilna, Zurich and Ler-0. There is a parent-of-origin dependent genome dosage effect on salt stress tolerance in Col-0, Ler-0 and Wilna. Plants were germinated in stress-free artificial growth media and after 9 days transferred to fresh media with or without NaCl. Plants were destructively harvested after 7 days. Each accession was analysed with a one-way ANOVA and means assigned different letters are statistically different (p < 0.05) according to Tukey’s HSD test; NS is not statistically different (p > 0.05). Error bars represent standard deviation.

Improving the salt stress tolerance of crops is an important goal in plant breeding. Changes in the number of chromosome sets (i.e. ploidy level) cause genome dosage effects which can result in enhanced or novel traits. Maternal inheritance versus paternal inheritance of the same chromosome sets can have differential epigenetic effects on traits of...

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most economically important horticultural crops. There are many types of banana, with differing ploidy (usually diploid, triploid, or tetraploid) and genome types (most containing the A or/and B genome). Currently, observation and genome type detection are commonly used to identify banana germplasm resources. Howeve...
