Of the 73 combinations attempted, success was achieved in 12 cases. C. cajan crossed successfully with A. albicans, A. cajanifolia, A. lineata, A. scarabaeoides, and A. trinervia. Within the genus Atylosia, A. lineata crossed with A. albicans and A. scarabaeoides, and A. scarabaeoides with A. sericea. Three species A. platycarpa, A. volubilis and R. rothii did not cross with any other one. In most of the unsuccessful combinations, although the pollen germinated on the receiving stigmas, the pollen tube growth was inhibited inside the stigma or in the stylar tissue. publisher: Springer date: 1985 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/6489/1/Euphytica_34_2_303-308_1985.pdf identifier: Pundir, R P S and Singh , R B (1985) Crossability relationships among Cajanus, atylosia and Rhynchosia species and detection of crossing barriers.
