Attempts to overcome partial incompatibility between Hordeum vulgare L. and H. bulbosum L.

Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Partial incompatibility has already been reported between Hordeum vulgare and H. bulbosum during the course of doubled haploid production, and in this paper attempts to overcome the breeding barrier are described. The methods which seem to offer most success are those of environmental adjustments and the adoption of new genotypes of H. bulbosum. Further cultivars of H. vulgare exhibiting this phenomenon are also noted.
