Abstract

Self-sterile interspecific hybrids between diploid Lolium perenne and either Festuca arundinacea or F. gigantea (both hexaploids) set some seeds when subjected to a heavy pollen cloud from the amphiploids derived from the hybrids. All the progeny were octoploid and were formed from the fertilization of unreduced gametes in the F1 hybrid by amphiploid pollen. The significance of the results in relation to breeding efforts within the Lolium/Festuca complex is discussed.
