Induction of allopolyploids

    Allopolyploids
    • Hybridization between distinct species followed by chromosomal doubling under natural conditions as well as through artificial means is the basic approach for the synthesis of allopolyploids.
    • Some of the crops likes wheat , cotton are natural allopolyploids shows the spontaneous occurrence of this process in which either unreduced gametes from two species united or chromosome number doubled after hybridization.
    • Synthesis of triticale is classical example of manmade allopolyploid from cross of wheat and rye.
