Inheritance of essential oil content and composition under interspecific hybridization of Thymus L.

Abstract

Data on the essential oil content and composition in species hybrids obtained from directional crossing of various chemotapes are presented. Natural regularities of inheritance of the essential oil content and main oil components are discussed. Biochemical characterization of transgressive forms selected for breeding is given.Data on the essential oil content and composition in species hybrids obtained from directional crossing of various chemotapes are presented.
