Abstract

Diploid ibackcross :progeny of (V. vinifera L. x V. rotundifolia MICHX.) x V. vinifera L. were studied in the present investigation.
  1. In the diploid backcross (BC1) progeny a range from completely sterile seedlings to others as fertile as standard V. vinifera varietes was obtained.
  2. Average bivalent formation at MI in the diploid BC1 progeny varied from 7.9 to 16.1. There was a relation in BC1 hyibrids between chromosomal pairing at MI and fertility of the seedlings.
  3. BC1 seedlings ,segregated for some V. rotundifolia characters (fruit quality, flavor, type of bark, tendrils, diaphragm, size of flower clusters, shape of the leaves, etc.). Wood type was the only characteristic of V. rotundifolia. which was found in all BC1 seedlings.
  4. Crossability pattern of the BC1 progeny to V. vinifera and V. rotundifolia was the same as that of F1 VR hybrids; namely, only as a female parent to V. rotundifolia and female or male to V. vinifera.
