Seed formation and germination in progenies from interspecific and intergeneric hybridization between Nerine and related species and genera of Amaryllidaceae

摘要

Interspecific hybrids from 12 cross combinations were obtained, when Nerine alta, N. bowdenii cv. Pink Triumph, N. crispa, N. filamentosa, N. humilis, N. pudica and N. sarniensis were crossed with each other in 24 combinations. Intergeneric hybridsfrom 6 cross combinations resulted, when N. filamentosa, N. humilis or N. sarniensis were hybridized with XAmacrinum, Amaryllis belladonna, XAmaryne, XHippeaskeria, Lycoris aurea [L. africana], Sprekelia formosissima or Vallota speciosa [Cyrtanthus elatus] in 19 combinations.
