Fully matured F1 Seed Formed in the Cross between Cultivated Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and the Tertiary Gene Pool Species, Cicer pinnatifidum without Embryo Rescue but Albinism Persists

Abstract

Although pod and seed formation in these interspecific crosses can be improved by involving diverse genotypes in crossing, geneflow between these materials is hindered by a strong genetic factor conferring albinism in the F1 hybrids.
