Embryo abortion stage and rescue system of hybrids were studied in the distant hybridizationbetween plum and apricot. Identification of the hybrids was also made. The resultsshowed: (1) Embryo abortion started from three weeks after pollination. (2) The germinationand growth of embryos were different at different growth stages, which could germinateand grow with PF value>0.5, but failed with PF value<0.5. In embryo rescue system ofhybrids, the best germination and differentiation medium was MS+6-BA 2mgL-1+IAA 0.3mgL-1,the rate of germination and differentiation reached up to 80%, bud induction andmultiplication medium was MS+6-BA 1.5mgL-1+IAA 0.3mgL-1, rooting medium was 1/2 MS+IAA0.8mgL-1. Some hybrids were transplanted into the field successfully. (3) Leaf shapeinvestigation and identification by S allele-specific PCR and RAPDs showed that thehybrids were true ones.
