Popis: Somatic hybrid plants have been produced following electrofusion of mesophyll protoplasts of P. edulis f. flavicarpa and P. incarnata. These hybrids exhibited morphological characteristics intermediate between those of the two parental species. Further evidence of hybridity has been provided by isozyme analysis, ploidy determinations and molecular characterization (RAPD analysis). These somatic hybrid plants have been used in first generation backcrossing experiments with both P. edulis f. flavicarpa and P. incarnata; descriptions are provided of the floral and fruit characteristics, as well as seed production.
