Tóm tắt

Interspecific crosses between Zinnia angustifolia clones (maternal parents) and Z. elegans lines (paternal parents) were performed to investigate postzygotic barriers among Z. angustifolia X Z. elegans hybrids and to determine influence of parental genotype on embryonic and vegetative development of interspecific hybrids. Variation in percentage of emerged seedlings (PES) and percentage of morphologically normal hybrids (PNH) was attributable to Z. angustifolia clones with minor or no effect attributable to Z. elegans lines. Heterogeneity in PES values among Z. angustifolia clones was due to differences in amount of hybrid embryo breakdown and ungerminable seed. Cytological observations of normal and abnormal interspecific hybrids revealed similar chromosome numbers (2n=23) but indicated a low mitotic index for abnormal hybrids. Genetic analysis of PES and PNH suggested control by multiple genes inherited from the Z. angustifolia genome. Adequate sampling of the Z. angustifolia gene pool would permit exploitation of genetic variability present within the species and allow improvements in PES and PNH for interspecific hybrids.
