Main features of Distant hybridizatiton
 It is used when the desirable character is not found within the species
of a crop
 It is an effective method of transferring desirable gene into cultivated
plants from their related cultivated or wild species.
 It gives rise to three types of crosses viz. a) fully fertile, b) Partially
fertile and c) Fully sterile in different crop species.
 It leads to Introgression which refers to transfer of some genes from
one species into genome of another species.
 F1 hybrid between two genus are always sterile. The fertility has to be
restored by doubling of chromosome through colchicine treatment.
Types of crosses obtained during distant hybridization
• Fully fertile crosses: Between species that have complete chromosomal
homology. Chromosome in such hybrids have normal pairing at meiosis.
E.g., Mango, citrus
• Partially fertile crosses: Between species which differ in chromosome
number but have some chromosome in common. In such situation , F1
plants are partially fertile and partially sterile.
• Fully sterile crosses: Between species which do not have chromosomal
homology. Such hybrids can be made self fertile by doubling the
chromosomes.
Problems associated with wide crosses
• Cross Incompatibility
• Hybrid Inviability
• Hybrid Sterility
• Hybrid Breakdown
Cross Incompatibility
Pre –fertilization barriers
• Lack of pollen germination
• Insufficient growth of pollen tube to reach ovule
• Inability of male gamete to unite with the egg cell.
Overcome by
• Reciprocal crosses
• Bridge crosses
• Using pollen mixtures
• Pistil manipulations
• Use of growth regulators etc.
Hybrid Inviability
development of the zygote is arrested
embryo gets aborted
• Unfavourable interactions between chromosomes
• Unfavourable interaction of the endosperm with the embryo
• Disharmony between cytoplasm and nuclear genes
overcome by
• Reciprocal crosses
• application of growth hormones
• embryo rescue
Hybrid Sterility
• Inability of a hybrid to produce viable
offspring
• Incomplete pairing of chromosomes.
• overcome by amphidiploidization using
colchicine
Hybrid Breakdown
• F1 hybrid plants of an interspecific crosses
are vigorous and fertile but there F2 progeny
is weak and sterile
• Due to the structural difference of chromosomes
or problems in gene combinations
Techniques To Overcome Barriers In Wide
Hybridization
Manipulation of ploidy level
Strawberry:
Fragaria x annanasa X Fragaria nilgerrensis
(Cultivated strawberry) (wild species having peach aroma)
Sterile Hybrid having peach aroma
chromosome doubling
Fertile hybrid having peach aroma
Use of nutrient solution or growth regulators
Resistance source for PRSV and cold- Vasconcellea genus
Incompatible with cultivated species-Carica papaya
Using nutrient solution (sucrose 5%) (Jayavalli et al.,2011)
enhanced pollen germination and pollen tube growth
generation of viable hybrid embryo
