Cytogenetic Studies in Avena, XII

Abstract
Several abnormal configurations of the 1st and 2nd meiotic divisions were observed in a haploid cultivated oat, Kanota variety of Ayena byzantina. The seed fertility of the haploid plant was 1.2% in open-pollination and 11.7% in an artifical pollination with the pollen of normal Kanota. It is of interest that the seed fertility of the haploid was higher than that of the pentaploid interspecific hybrids of Avena. The latter was previously reported to be 0.16-3.00% by Nishiyama.
