Title : A GRAFTING-INDUCED SORGHUM-MAIZE HYBRID
Abstract : Interspecific grafting is limited by graft-incompatibility but regeneration of hybrid plants from grafting of genetically distinct scions and rootstocks has been reported in tobaccos. Here we report the regeneration of a hybrid plant via grafting between cross-incompatible sorghum and maize. By grafting maize and sorghum plants and regenerating hybrid from the graft junction in selection media, we generated a plant that was phenotypically a hybrid between sorghum and maize, i.e., the hybrid produced a seed-bearing “ear” toward the top of the stalk. To our knowledge, this is the first report of successful hybrid from grafting between two monocot plants.
