Notes:
Summary Certain cultivars of Hordeum vulgare L. gave low seed set (average 〈30%) after pollination with H. bulbosum, while others consistently gave high seed set (average 〉80%). The reduced seed setting occurred in crosses with cultivars which had H. distichum var. laevigatum in their ancestry. The results show that the reduced setting is probably controlled by a single dominant gene. This finding is of particular importance to breeders concerned with the use of Vada or some of its high yielding derivatives for producing haploids by interspecific hybridization.
