Kotschy ex Steud. (BB, 2 = 24) is a wild species of rice that has many useful agronomic traits. An interspecific hybrid (AB, 2 = 24) was produced by crossing and variety Punjab Rice 122 (PR122, AA, 2 = 24) to broaden the narrow genetic base of cultivated rice. Cytological analysis of the pollen mother cells (PMCs) of the interspecific hybrids confirmed that they have 24 chromosomes. The F hybrids showed the presence of 19-20 univalents and 1-3 bivalents. The interspecific hybrid was treated with colchicine to produce a synthetic amphiploid (AABB, 2 = 48). Pollen fertility of the synthetic amphiploid was found to be greater than 50% and partial seed set was observed. Chromosome numbers in the PMCs of the synthetic amphiploid were 24II, showing normal pairing. Flow cytometric analysis also confirmed doubled genomic content in the synthetic amphiploid. Leaf morphological and anatomical studies of the synthetic amphiploid showed higher chlorophyll content and enlarged bundle sheath cells as compared with both of its parents. The synthetic amphiploid was backcrossed with PR122 to develop a series of addition and substitution lines for the transfer of useful genes from with least linkage drag.

Among cereals, triticale (× Wittmack ex A. Camus) represents a number of advantages such as high grain yield even in marginal environments, tolerance to drought, cold and acid soils, as well as lower production costs. Together with high biomass of grain and straw, triticale is also considered as an industrial energy crop.
