Meanings of interspecific hybrid in English

The highest frequencies of viable progeny were obtained when B. napus was the maternal parent of the interspecific hybrid and the first backcross.

The excellent chromosome morphology of these diploid species allows detailed cytological analysis of interspecific hybrids.

Unexpectedly, heterosis for protein abundance was strongly biased toward positive values in interspecific hybrids but not in intraspecific hybrids.

That occasional cross-pollination occurred not only between individuals of the same species, but also between related species to produce interspecific hybrids.

A better understanding of the evolutionary forces that shape regulatory variation and divergence can be developed by comparing expression differences among species and interspecific hybrids.

Even though behavioural, genetic and ecological factors uphold species boundaries in ducks, we detect opposing forces allowing for viable interspecific hybrids, with long-term evolutionary implications.
