Meiotic behavior of interspecific hybrids between artificially tetraploidized sexual Brachiaria ruziziensis and tetraploid apomictic B. brizantha (Poaceae) Comportamento meiótico de híbridos interespecíficos entre tetraplóides artificiais de Brachiaria ruziziensis e tetraplóides apomíticos de B. brizantha (Poaceae)

The meiotic behavior of four interspecific promising hybrids was evaluated by conventional cytological methods. The female genitors were two artificially tetraploidized sexual accessions of B. ruziziensis (R41 and R44, 2n = 4χ = 36), which were crossed to an agronomically superior natural t...
