Study of Cross Incompatibility between Evergreen and Deciduous Azaleas

Abstract

A brief account of research in our laboratory on the mechanism of the cross incompatibility between evergreen azalea species and yellow flowered deciduous azalea, Rhododendron japonicum form flavum, i.e. mechanism of unilateral cross incompatibility and albino progenies appearance, is given. Furthermore, the strategy for obtaining vigorous green progenies effectively was also summarized.
