Description:
Developed from eight cycles of recurrent selection within a segmental autoalloploid population that originated from intercrossing three hybrids. Population 1 was a cross between L. racemosus (PI 313965) x L. angustus (PI 314682) which produced a 70 chromosome hybrid that resulted from an unreduced L. racemosus egg, n=28, fertilized by a reduced L. angustus gamete, n=42. Population II was a 98 chromosome hybrid that originated from a cross that involved an unreduced L. cinereus (PI 286809) gamete (n=56) and reduced L. angustus (PI 314672 and 314682) pollen (n=42). Population III was a backcross of the L. racemosus x L. angustus hybrid to L. angustus.
