Most cooking and several desert bananas are interspecific triploid hybrids between Musa acuminata (A genome) and M. balbisiana (B genome). To investigate the possibility of chromosome exchanges between these two...
Interspecific hybridization of lady’s slipper orchids (Paphiopedilum) has long been used for breeding programs; however, genome affinities among species are almost unknown. Lee et al. investigate meiotic chromosome...
The transfer of chromosomes and/or segments between related species can be used in the development of novel plant phenotypes and also provides an important resource both for dissecting the genetic control of important...
