Tripsacum-X-Maize Hybrids in Tripsacum Cytoplasm
Abstract
dc:descriptionF$\sb1$ hybrids between tetraploid Tripsacum dactyloides (2n = 72) and diploid maize (2n = 20) were produced containing 82 chromosomes (72Td + 10Zm) in Tripsacum cytoplasm. Four backcrosses, with maize as the recurrent parent, produced an array of chromosomal types. The most common pathway for elimination of Tripsacum chromosomes was 2n = 82, 2n = 92, 2n = 56, 2n = 38, and 2n = 23 or 24 chromosomes. Plants with 2n = 38, 50, and 52 were also obtained.
