Reproductive mode of maternal backcross (BC-M) inferred from genotyping offspring of (<i>Hoc</i> x BC-M; Cross 1–3) and (BC-M x <i>Hoc</i>; Cross 4 and 5) using microsatellite DNA.

In BC-M retaining two Hoc genome sets, alleles (orange) from hemiclonal hybrids (grandmother: Hoc/Hag) were inherited by offspring after recombination. Alleles (blue) from fathers (Hoc) are colored to facilitate discrimination.
