Meiotic Analysis of an Intergeneric Hybrids Between Durum Wheat and Thinopyrum Junceiforme


Abstract in English

Production, meiotic analysis, and description of morphological characteristics of an intergeneric hybrids ABJ1J2 between durum wheat and Thinopyrum junceiforme, are described. The hybrid resembled the wheatgrass. It inherited the tillering habit, perennial growth habit, and glaucous leaves and stems from the wheatgrass. F1 is pollen and seed sterile, while BC1 and BC1F2 were pollen and seed fertile.
