Intergeneric crossing between durum wheat and corn

The haploidization method by intergenic crossing with maize was applied to four durum wheat varieties (Marzak, Massa, Oum rabia and Tomouh), only the effect of wheat genotype was studied. It shows a significant effect on the rate of gestation and not significant on the rate of embryos. The results obtained in androgenesis and in intergeneric crossing with maize are not correlated, and genotypes responding poorly with one of the methods can give good results with the other.
