Abstract
The Endosperm as a Barrier to Intersectional Hybridization in Iris
Highlights
Many interspecific as well as intersectional hybrids are possible in iris a large number of pollinations may be required in order to obtain a single viable seed
At the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden embryo culture is a routine procedure for the handling of seeds of rare species and for important crosses
In order to determine whether these embryos could be grown on into seedlings in vitro, sixty-day old capsules were harvested, the surface was sterilized with alcohol, and the embryos were excised aseptically and placed on a nutrient agar
Summary
Many interspecific as well as intersectional hybrids are possible in iris a large number of pollinations may be required in order to obtain a single viable seed.
