Example sentencesExamples
- Interspecific or intergeneric hybridization, followed by chromosome doubling, can lead to the formation of new allopolyploid species.
- As these species are cross-incompatible, the only way to obtain such intergeneric hybrids is protoplast fusion and somatic hybridization.
- The loose interspecific or even intergeneric connections probably provide polyploids with such genetic flexibility.
- If these were intergeneric hybrids, they would likely have significantly incongruent positions between the chloroplast and mitochondrial gene phylogenies.
- In this framework, a number of interspecific and intergeneric hybrids were grown and tested for fertility and fruit quality.
