Abstract
The difficulty in obtaining interspecific plant hybrids has always been a major problem which interested not only plant breeders and geneticists but plant physiologists as well. The former ascribed the difficulty to genetic problems such as gene or chromosome incompatibility. Upon careful examination, however, it appeared that the failure of obtaining a hybrid embryo is not always due to purely genetic problems but sometimes to complex mechanical and physiological problems during the processes of pollination and embryo development.
