Notes:
Summary Cross-incompatibility between cultivated peanuts and their wild relatives outside the section Arachis has impeded the utilization of many species possessing high resistances or good qualities. Despite the great efforts made to culture immature ovules or embryos, few hybrid offspring have been obtained. In this study, gynophores from Arachis hypogaea L. pollinated with A. glabrata Benth. were cultured and F1 hybrids seeds were harvested, and F2 and F3 generations produced. The characters of F2 generation exhibited a wide range of segregation. Leaf peroxidase isozyme PAGE analysis revealed that the hybrids were quite different from their parents in relation to band number, width and isozyme activity. The zymograms of the hybrids and their parents were partially alike. This verified the authenticity of the hybrids.
