Larrea interspecific hybrids revisited (Zygophyllaceae)

Evidence from recent molecular studies suggested a reappraisal of genome relationships between Larrea ameghinoi and the other South American species of the genus. As a consequence, new attemps to study the meiotic pairing of the L. ameghinoi x L. cuneifolia hybrids were undertaken (2n = 3x = 39). Me...

Since the basic number x is 13, the interpretation that is favored is that L. ameghinoi (2n = 2x = 26) (AA) and L. cuneifolia (2n = 4x = 52) (DDCC) share partially homeologous genomes (A and C) that are involved in most bivalent pairing and this would explain the partial seed fertility of these triploid hybrids (15-19.4 %). L. ameghinoi genome (A) could have retained several parts of an ancestral genome which makes possible at least some pairing with those of the other species and enable it to function as a pivotal genome producing some fertility (from partial to complete) in all the possible hybrid combinations with its three South American congeners.
