COLUMBIA, Mo. -
University of Missouri
scientists have produced a
new hybrid cross involving
wheat, barley and rye.
It’s a sterile hybrid, and
the UMC scientists are
trying to produce a fertile
version of this cross which
may be useful in developing
improved varieties.
The hybrid is a result of
research by Gordon Kimber,
wheat geneticist, and Percy
J. Sallee, research specialist
in the UMC agronomy
department. Sallee actually
made the cross.

“The sterile hybrid helps
us better understand the
relationship between dif
ferent species, and this
understanding is useful to
breeders trying to develop
improved varieties,” the
scientists reported.
“We hope to develop a
fertile hybrid which would
make a bridge across rrtiich
we could transfer useful
genes. In other words, we
could transfer all the genes
of one species to another and
select the best ones for
developing improved crop
varieties.”
