Abstract
Reciprocal F 1 triticale hybrids (× Triticosecale Wittmack) produced from crosses between primary 6x amphiploids (C 1 ) were synthesized that differed only in their source of cytoplasm. One member of each reciprocal pair possessed hexaploid (6x) wheat cytoplasm (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), the other, tetraploid (4x) wheat cytoplasm (T. turgidum L.). Comparisons of agronomic and reproductive behavior were made between members of reciprocal F 1 pairs. Initial embryo development, embryo survival in vitro, and survival of F 1 wheat-rye hybrids were 10, 105, and 127% higher respectively when the female parent possessed 6x as compared with 4x wheat cytoplasm. Similarly, F 1 amphiploids with 6x cytoplasm were 3.0% taller and developed 25.0% more fertile tillers than their genetically identical counterparts with 4x cytoplasm. Spike morphology and floret number were not found to be influenced by source of cytoplasm. As current triticale procedures require the synthesis of new wheat-rye amphiploids for the introduction of genetic variability, it is suggested that the utilization of 6x wheat cytoplasm would enhance such a program as well as improve the agronomic performance of triticales so synthesized.
