Hexeplords and the progenres of the trrplords were backcrossed wtth A hypogaee and produced A hypogaea-lrke dertvatrves Autotetraplo~ds were crossed wrth A hypcqsee end some lerfrle F I progenres obtsrned Forty-SIX 01 the 56 possrble ~nferspecrfrc crosses among erght drplord wrld specres producad seeds Amphrplotds were esleblrshed rn 31 combrnatrons. 23 have been crossed wrth A hypogaea
