Abstract excerpt
Androgenesis using amphidiploid cultivars of Festuca pratensis x Lolium multiflorum as parents, overcame earlier problems that gave rise to widespread plant sterility amongst androgenic Festulolium populations. Two Festuca pratensis x Lolium multiflorum (2n = 4x = 28) cultivars, Sulino and Felopa, were highly amenable to androgenesis and 10% of plants, including some novel androgenic genotypes, had sufficient...
