Abstract
Morphological characters of various F1 hybrids between Triticum-species are described, which were provided by the writers during the past eight years chiefly for cytological investigations. The grade of fertility is also given in some hybrids.
The most noteworthy hybrid plants are the ones between T. aegilopoides and T. dicoccoides and its reciprocal. They are less than 30cm in height and completely sterile. They look like T. dicoccoides, but slender and very short. The culm of this hybrid does not tiller at all, having always a single culm. The head consists of 4-5 spikelets and is very fragile.
The results of crossing experiments are given in Tab. 1. and the spikes and the whole plants are in illustrated Pls II-IV.
