Embryo Culture for Wide Hybridization in Rice

  • Chapter
Rice

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 14))

Abstract

Interspecific hybridization is a tool of prime importance in the breeding programs of many crops, more particularly of some cereals, like wheat and oats. Nevertheless, the situation is very different in rice, where the introduction of wild genes in cultivated varieties has been very rare, and the use of hybridization has been restricted to closely related species sharing the same genome.
