Interspecific hybridization represents one of the main mechanisms of plant speciation.
Merging of two genomes from different subspecies, species, or even genera is frequently …

The convergence of distinct lineages upon interspecific hybridisation, including when
accompanied by increases in ploidy (allopolyploidy), is a driving force in the origin of many …

Some interspecific plant hybrids show unequal transmission of chromosomes from parental
genomes to the successive generations. It has been suggested that this is due to a …

Festulolium refers to natural or synthetic intergeneric hybrids between obligate outbreeding
species of the Festuca (fescue) and the Lolium (ryegrass) genera, species considered …

Industries based on pastoral farming have increased their contribution to GDP from 13.5 to
17% since 1990 as the result of markedly intensified farming practices. In the future, we …

Festulolium are grasses formed through interspecific hybridisation of ryegrass (Lolium) and
fescue (Festuca) species. The Lolium-Festuca genome complex represents a vast array of …

Genome or genomic dominance (GD) is a phenomenon observed in hybrids when one
parental genome becomes dominant over the other. It is manifested by the replacement of …

There is a relatively long history of plant hybridization traced back to ancient time, both from
theoretical as well as practical perspectives. At first considered as an evolutionary dead-end …

Allopolyploidization entailing the merger of two distinct genomes in a single hybrid
organism, is an important process in plant evolution and a valuable tool in breeding …

The potential of× Festulolium as a forage species for Nordic conditions was investigated by
comparing Norwegian candivars (LpFp-T, LmFp-T, LpFp-DN, LpFp-D-UK) differing in …
