Most eukaryotes maintain the stability of their cellular genome sizes to ensure genome
transmission to offspring through sexual reproduction. However, some alter their genome …

The gonads of amphibians, like other vertebrates, consist of somatic tissues, which create a
specific environment essential for the differentiation of germline cells. The earliest stages of …

Abstract Central European water frog Pelophylax esculentus is a hybrid that lives
sympatrically and forms genetic systems with one of its parental species, in this case LE (P …

Gametogenesis produces gametes as a piece of genetic information transmitted to the
offspring. While during sexual reproduction, progeny inherits a mix of genetic material from …

The cellular and molecular mechanisms governing sexual reproduction is highly conserved
across eukaryotes. Nevertheless, hybridization can disrupt such machinery leading to …

Meiosis is a conservative process in all sexual organisms which ensures fertility and is
central for producing genetic diversity by recombination and random segregation of parental …

Hybrid taxa from the genus Pelophylax can propagate themselves in a modified way of
sexual reproduction called hybridogenesis ensuring the formation of clonal gametes …

Triploids are widely used to rapidly achieve genetic improvements of organisms due to their
fast growth and enhanced environmental adaptability. Artificially induced triploids are …

Hybridogenesis is well-known attributes of water frogs of the genus Pelophylax. The P.
esculentus complex consists of two parental species, P. lessonae and P. ridibundus, as well …

Amphibian species have the largest genome size enriched with repetitive sequences and
relatively similar karyotypes. Moreover, many amphibian species frequently hybridize …
