With the aim of widening the genetic variability of hexaploid tritorceum through the wheat parents, amphiploids between Hordeum chilense and Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides , ssp. georgicum , and Cody, polonicum have been synthesized. The meiotic behaviour and the fertility were examined in these amphiploids. The morphology of the amphiploids in comparison to their wheat parents was described.
