2 Milestones in Interspecific / Intergeneric Hybridization (1) First intergeneric hybrids - Wheat x rye, Wilson 1876 Colchicine - Blakeslee Wheat x barley, Farrer Wheat x Aegilops, Kihara 1937 Embryo rescue and in vitro culture - Kruse, 1973, Murashige and Skoog,1962 Pioneers Tsitsin, Ceoloni; Islam, Jauhar; Sears Mujeeb-Kazi; Friebe-Gill; Molnar-Lang; P. Chen; S. Xu Screening alien species for variability - Oliver et al Ph1 mutants - Riley and Chapman, 1958 Cytogenetic stocks - additions, substitutions Sears PBI, KSU, Dvorak, Joppa, P. Chen, Molnar-Lang Wheat and Maize pollination Laurie and Bennett,
