The farmland around here is spectacularly fertile, producing cherries, olives, huge sweet melons and a cuisine renowned in food-obsessed Turkey for being especially innovative and fresh.
Heterozygotes were viable, normal looking, and fertile, producing offspring in normal Mendelian ratios when crossed with wild type animals.
Both male and female homozygous mutant mice were fertile, producing litters of normal size that were composed of male and female animals (data not shown).
The female flowers were fertile, producing seeds after pollination.
The resulting transformants were fertile, producing mature fruiting bodies (perithecia) similar to the wild type.
Moreover, self-pollinated cals5-3 plants were fertile, producing normal seed sets.
The atrad21.1 atradoubledouble mutant plants are viable and fully fertile, producing a full seed set in each silique (data not shown).
Typically such APC/C double mutants are either sterile or if fertile, produce broods of multicellular embryos that fail to hatch.
However, individual-male mating and laboratory-swarm experiments revealed that hybrid males, while inseminating fewer females than older inbred males, were significantly more fertile, producing larger mating plugs and drastically increasing female fecundity.
Significantly, after 3 weeks of incubation at both 28°C and 30°C, certain crosses were found to be fertile, producing cleistothecia that contained viable ascospores (Table 1 and Fig. 2; see supplemental material for species diagnosis).
