Common buckwheat (<i>Fagopyrum esculentum</i>) is an annual self-incompatible plant that is widely grown. The genus <i>Fagopyrum</i> comprises more than 20 species, including <i>F. cymosum</i>, a perennial that, unlike common buckwheat, is highly resistant to excess water. In this study, we developed interspecific hybrids between <i>F. esculentum</i> and <i>F. cymosum</i> via embryo rescue, to improve undesirable traits of common buckwheat, such as low tolerance to excess water. The interspecifi ...[more]
