Abstract

Pscudosegregation in sugar beet plants produced by mitotic agamospermy has been reconsidered. It has been demonstrated that essentially, pseudosegregation is redetermination, i.e. a change in the expression of the allele of an enzymatic gene such that the allele starts yielding a different product (a subunit or a molecule of the enzyme), rather than silencing. Possible mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of redetermination have been discussed.
