Relation between wheat-rye crossability and seed set of common wheat after pollination with other species in the Hordeae

Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Cultivars of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) of high wheat-rye (Secale cereale L.) crossability set more seed with pollen of other related species than did wheats of low wheat-rye crossability. This was found to be true for pollen parents from the genera Triticum, Aegilops, Secale, Agropyron and Elymus.
