Notes:
Summary The embryos of a cultivated tetraploid peanut (Arachis hypogaea), a wild diploid species (A. villosa), and their hybrid embryos, which generally abort in nature, were cultured in vitro and the plants have been successfully transferred to the soil. The hybrids showed triploid chromosome number (3x=30). The significance of wide hybridization in peanut-improvement programs is discussed.
