Abstract:Agropyron mongolicum keng., the narrow linear-spiked diploid species (2n = 14) from Inner Mongolia was hybridized with the broad pectinate-spiked diploid (2n = 14) A.cristatum cv.Fair-way from Montana state of America.Interspecific hybridization was conducted for combining their hard re-sistan gene from A.mongoliicum and superior quality gene from Fairway.the F1 hybrid was diploid and morhpologically intermediate to to their parents.Chromosome pairing at metaphase I in the hybrid averaged2.09I, 4.86Ⅱ,0.48Ⅲ,0.24Ⅳand 0.19Ⅴ per cell,demonstrating that the two parental genomes are very similar.The F1 hybrid was partially fertile so that pe opportunity was offered for gene exchange and transfer.
