Reciprocal crosses between closely related Mimulus species, diploid M. guttatus (2X) and allotetraploid M. luteus (4X), result in distinct seed phenotypes. Both crosses lead to reduction in seed size, but severe endosperm defects lead to embryo arrest and unviable seeds when M. guttatus was the seed parent (2X × 4X cross). Top, scanning electron micrographs of hybrid seeds. Bottom, histological sections of seeds at 11 days after pollination, showing the seed coat (orange), endosperm (blue), and embryo (green). Adapted from Kinser et al. (2021), Figure 2.
