Selective egg cell polyspermy bypasses the triploid block
Polyploidization, the increase in genome copies, Wellingtons is considered a major driving force for speciation.We have recently provided the first direct in planta evidence for polyspermy induced polyploidization.Capitalizing on a novel sco1-based polyspermy assay, we here show that polyspermy can selectively polyploidize the egg cell, while rende
