Background: With the objective of combining multiple resistant traits from wild relative species in florist's chrysanthemums, trigeneric hybridization was conducted by crossing two intergeneric F(1) hybrids Chrysanthemum grandiflorum × Artemisia vulgaris and Chrysanthemum crassum × Crossostephium chinense.
Methodology/principal Findings: To assess post-pollination phenomena, we investigated pollen germination on the stigma and embryo development, using fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy and paraffin-embedded sections, respectively. We selected eight putative trigeneric hybrid lines that showed the greatest morphological differences from the parents from among the progeny derived via embryo rescue. The hybridity of one trigeneric hybrid was further confirmed by fluorescent genomic in situ hybridization; in addition, the aphid resistance and salt tolerance of this hybrid were higher than those of the chrysanthemum parent and the C. grandiflorum × A. vulgaris F(1) hybrid, respectively.
Conclusions/significance: The enhanced aphid resistance of the hybrid line reflects the inheritance of chromosomes from A. vulgaris, which carries genes that encode bioactive components. The enhanced salt tolerance of the trigeneric hybrid is attributable to inheritance of genetic materials from Chrysanthemum crassum and Crossostephium chinense, which act to maintain the compartmentation of Na(+) and K(+) ions and their selective transportation among different organs to avert deleterious effects and protect the photosynthetic apparatus. The results indicate that trigeneric hybridization between different bigeneric hybrids is a promising method for combination of multiple stress-resistance traits for improvement of chrysanthemum.

Trigeneric hybrids in Triticeae may help to establish evolutionary relationships among different genomes present in the same cellular genetic background and to transfer different alien characters into cultivated wheat. In the present study, a trigeneric hybrid involving species of Triticum, Secale, and Thinopyrum was synthesized by crossing hexaploid triticale with hexaploid trigopiro. The meiotic behaviour of chromosomes belonging to different genomes was analyzed, using routine and in situ hybridization techniques in F1, F2, and F3 generations of the trigeneric hybrid.

The middle to lower reaches of the Yangtze River are China's second largest area for wheat production; wheat disease is more serious there than in other areas because of the high humidity and warm weather. However, most cultivated varieties are susceptible to Fusarium head blight (FHB), powdery mildew, and stripe rust, and the lack of disease-resistant germplasm is an obstacle in wheat breeding. Rye and , related species of wheat, carry many genes involved in disease resistance.

Polyploidization, or whole genome duplication (WGD), has an important role in evolution and speciation. One of the biggest challenges faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, in particular, discriminating between multiple related chromosomes so that only homologs recombine to ensure regular chromosome segregation and fertility. Here, we report the production of two new hybrids formed by the genomes of species from three different genera: a hybrid between (DD), (HH), and (RR) with the haploid genomic constitution HDR (n = 7× = 21); and a hybrid between (AABB), and with the constitution ABHR (n = 7× = 28).

It is very important to use chromosome-specific markers for identifying alien chromosomes in advanced generations of distant hybridization. The chromosome-specific markers of rye and Thinopyrum elongatum, as well as genomic in situ hybridization, were used to identify the alien chromosomes in eight lines that were derived from the crossing between Triticum trititrigia (AABBEE) and triticale (AABBRR). The results showed that four lines contained all rye chromosomes but no Th.

Fusarium head blight (FHB), leaf rust, and stem rust are the most destructive fungal diseases in current world wheat production. The diploid wheatgrass, (Host) Dewey (2 = 2 = 14, EE) is an excellent source of disease resistance genes. Two new trigeneric hybrids were derived from a cross between a hexaploid triticale (X Wittmack, 2 = 6 = 42, AABBRR) and a hexaploid (2 = 6 = 42, AABBEE), were produced and analyzed using genomic hybridization and molecular markers.
