Cytological studies of an intergeneric hybrid ofCajanus cajan (Linn.) Millsp. andAtylosia lineata, W. & A.

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

VIII. Summary

An intergeneric hybrid betweenC. cajan (Linn.) Millsp. (2n=22)×A. lineata, W. & A. (2n=22) was obtained. The morphology of the somatic chromosomes of the parents and the F1 was studied. It was observed that there was difference in the chromosome morphology of the two species. Some meiotic irregularities were observed in the F1 which showed only partial fertility. It is suggested that the sterility of F1 is due to the structural differences in the chromosome of the two parents. The homology between the chromosome complements of the two parents suggests close relationship between them.
