“…RESULTSANDDISCUSSION Pollen grains placed on stigmas germinated after a relatively short time and there was no surface specificity; i.e., no differences were observed in the germination of self or cross pollen grains and also none between self-pollinated and cross-pollinated pistils. RAMSAY et al (1984) reported similar findings for JGciu species.…”

“…So far, all attempts to obtain interspecific hybrids between faba bean and related Vicia species have been unsuccessful (Bond et al 1985;Ramsay & Pickersgill 1986). Those crossability barriers have hampered gene transfer, but modern technology might help to achieve this transference in the future.…”

Sillero J.C., Rubiales D. (2014): Response of Vicia species to Ascochyta fabae and Uromyces viciae-fabae. Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 50: 109-115.A collection of 267 accessions belonging to 61 Vicia species other than V. faba was screened under growth chamber conditions for response to Ascochyta fabae and Uromyces viciae-fabae, causal agents of ascochyta blight and faba bean rust, respectively. High resistance to both diseases was very frequently detected in Vicia spp. in contrast to the high susceptibility previously reported in most V. faba accessions. Most of the Vicia spp. accessions studied here were very resistant or even immune to A. fabae with only one per cent of the accessions allowing development of small lesions bearing pycnidia. High resistance or immunity to U. viciae-fabae was also frequently found in the collection, with only ten per cent of the accessions showing compatible interaction although with reduced disease severity. These findings reinforce the specificity of A. fabae and U. viciae-fabae and clarify the potential role of cultivated and wild Vicia spp. in the epidemiology of these faba bean diseases.

Therefore, this clearing treatment was used in the analysis of post-fertilization barriers in Lotus to search for in situ embryo development.…”

Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) is a perennial species that is known for its outstanding characters as a crucial component of meadow and pasture vegetation and a highly successful fodder crop. However, its cultivation has been limited by the inability to control pod shattering. The anatomic and physiological bases of pod shattering are known and are considered to be controlled by more than one gene. This paper reviews the known causes of pod shattering and potential ways of overcoming pod indehiscence in L. corniculatus. Genetic transformation is possible in the genus Lotus; however, the useful genes determining the seed pod indehiscent character have not been identified yet. The only way of introducing pod indehiscence characters into L. corniculatus is by interspecific hybridization within the genus Lotus; embryo rescue and protoplast cultures are promising. To determine useful genotypes for crosses, investigations of pre-and post-fertilization barriers are necessary. To that end, we present here a convenient procedure for a whole-mount clearing treatment of immature seeds that leaves the cell walls of tissues intact. This is a useful technique for the study of post-fertilization barriers in Lotus.
