Abstract
Successful intercrossing has been carried out between a ‘Soudanien’ and a ‘Guineen’ type of okra, of which the latter is reported to be immune to the yellow vein mosaic (YVM) virus disease. However, due to difference in chromosome numbers of the parents the hybrid exhibited abnormal meiosis leading to sterility and thereby hinders fruitful incrorporation of the disease resistant gene to the former. Phylogenetic relationship between them is discussed. Origin of ‘Guineen’ type through natural hybridization between A. esculentsus and A. manihot is suggested.
