Restoring fertility to triploid grasses.

tqpl
20 years ago

Hi Group,

There is much sterility amoung ornamental grasses as they are triploids. I was wondering if there is any evidence that the use of chromosome doubling techniques would restore a breeding capability? Can any one offer evidence of this technique working or speculate on the theoretical possibility of success in grasses. Interested primarily in genus Panicum and Miscanthus.

Thanks for any input

Best regards

Alan
