Abstract
Interspecific triploid hybrids were obtained betweenArachis hypogaea L. andA. stenosperma Krapov. and W.C. Gregory by adopting hybridization coupled with rescue of the developing hybrid embryos. Two hexaploid hybrid populations were generated from triploids, somatically doubled (SD) and sexually polyploidized (SP) hexaploids. Microscopic screening for the occurrence of 2n gametes in triploid hybrids was useful to predict the production of spontaneous hexaploids. In order to facilitate maximum intergenomic recombination, the hexaploids were allowed to self for several generations (F4) in the greenhouse. Prolific vegetative growth, pollen stainability, and seed set were observed to decline with each selfed generation. Individuals of the F3 generation from the two hexaploid populations were evaluated for resistance to nematode (Meloidogyne arenaria Chitwood, race 1) and late leafspotCercosporidium personatum (Berk. & Curt.) Deighton under greenhouse conditions. Both SD and SP populations performed significantly better than their cultivated parent, Sunbelt Runner, and a susceptible cultivar, Florunner. At the DNA level, no significant differences were detected among hybrid individuals using cDNA clones and RAPD primers polymorphic for the two parents. Seven cDNA clones were used to probe DNA from 17 F2 individuals and two parents and 45 RAPD primers were used to amplify DNA from 21 F2 and F3 individuals. No significant differences in banding patterns were observed among hybrid individuals which suggested that little or no detectable intergenomic recombination had occurred.
