Cytogenetic Characterization of the Genome of Interspecies Hybrids (Alopex-Vulpes)
Abstract Creation of interspecific hybrids is widely common among plants and animals in order to improve economically important traits for humans. The studied material consisted of chromosomal preparations in the metaphase stage obtained from interspecies hybrids of arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus) and...

Abstract Creation of interspecific hybrids is widely common among plants and animals in order to improve economically important traits for humans.
