There are rich germplasm resources in Gossypium and wild cotton species possess many valuable agronomic traits which cultivated cotton always lacks. In order to introgress the useful traits from wild species G. australe and G. capitis-viridis into cultivated species for improving upland cotton, tetraploid G. hirsutum was crossed directly with C-genome species G. australe as the pollen-providing parent, creating a triploid hybrid. Chromosome doubling of this triploid hybrid leads to an allohexaploid which was then crossed with B-genome wild species G. capitis-viridis, resulting in trispecific hybrid (G. hirsutum, G. australe and G. capitis-viridis). The characteristic of chromosome behavior during meiosis of trispecific hybrid F 1 was further investigated in this study. Results indicated that the meiosis of trispecific hybrid was abnormal, which mainly reflected that the chromosomes were divided unequally during the anaphase II; and many abnormal multispores appeared in the telophase II, which finally developed into abortive pollen grains, directly leading to the sterility of trispecific hybrid F 1. This study provides the main reason of sterility for this hybrid and supplies the theory basis and the effective method for restoring the fertility and further creating new cotton intermediate germplasms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
