Differentiation of haploid and diploid fertilities in Gracilaria chilensis affect ploidy ratio

Differentiation of haploid and diploid fertilities in Gracilaria chilensis affect ploidy ratio

Abstract Background Algal isomorphic biphasic life cycles alternate between free-living diploid (tetrasporophytes) and haploid (dioicious gametophytes) phases and the hypotheses explaining their maintenance are still debated. Classic models state that conditional differentiation between phases is re...
