Meiosis and male fertility in F1 interspecific hybrids (Passiflora vitifolia vs. Passiflora hatschbachii)

Interspecific hybrids can be studied using methodologies in which the male gamete with high reproduction potential, viability, and fertility is prioritized. Passiflora species, with lush, showy, and exotic colors, have great potential for the ornamental plant market. In addition, artificial Passiflora hybrids were developed without many difficulties because of weak reproductive barriers. Thus, meiotic and post-meiotic behaviors were analyzed with 2
