- Abstract
Interspecific hybrids can be studied using methodologies in which the male gamete with high reproduction potential, viability, and fertility is prioritized. Passiflora species, with lush, showy, and exotic colors, have great potential for the ornamental plant market. In addition, artificial Passiflora hybrids were developed without many difficulties because of weak reproductive barriers. Thus, meiotic and post-meiotic behaviors were analyzed with 2% acetic carmine staining. Confirmation of interspecific hybridization was performed using SSR markers and GISH technique was used to detect genomic differentiation. The pollen viability of the parental and hybrids genotypes was tested using Alexander's solution, fluorescein diacetate and in vitro germination tests were performed using culture medium. The meiotic behavior was regular and displayed haploid number n = 9 with nine bivalent (II) chromosomal, and pairing in 90% of the cells in diakinesis. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in terminal and interstitial chiasma frequencies. Meiotic irregularities observed were as follows: early and/or delayed chromosomes, disorientation of spindle fibers, transverse spindles, tripolar spindles, and asynchrony; and consequently irregular post-meiotic products were observed: monads, dyads, triads, and polyads. GISH was used in the interspecific hybrids and pairing between homeologous chromosomes, and bivalent and tetravalent formation were observed. From this study, we could conclude that hybrid genotypes are fertile and pollen grains are viable and can be used in breeding programs.
