Proteomic analysis of the low mutation rate of diploid male gametes induced by colchicine in Ginkgo biloba L.

Colchicine treatment of G. biloba microsporocytes results in a low mutation rate in the diploid (2n) male gamete. The mutation rate is significantly lower as compared to other tree species and impedes the breeding of new economic varieties. Proteomic analysis was done to identify the proteins that i...
