Wheat X Maize and Other Wide Sexual Hybrids: Their Potential for Genetic Manipulation and Crop Improvement

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Stadler Genetics Symposia Series ((SGSS))

Abstract

“The view generally entertained by naturalists is that species, when intercrossed, have been specially endowed with the quality of sterility, in order to prevent the confusion of all organic forms.” With these words Charles Darwin opens his chapter on hybridism in The Origin of Species. Darwin, however, goes on to argue that the degree of sterility in crosses is not a specially endowed quality but is highly variable, arising through the processes of natural selection by the accumulation of what we would now call genetic differences.
