Interspecific hybridization of Lilium longiflorum (L) with Asiatic (A) lily hybrids results in so-called LA-hybrids. Some of these hybrids produce 2n-pollen, which were used to perform crosses on Asiatic and Oriental (O) hybrids, resulting in ALA- and OLA-hybrids. Recombination between homoeologous chromosomes (introgression) and the mechanism of 2n-pollen formation in these hybrids were studied using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). A clear differentiation between the chromosomes of L. longiflorum, Asiatic, and Oriental hybrids was observed in four ALA- and one OLA-hybrid using GISH. Two ALA-hybrids showed 3 and 5 recombinant chromosomes with a total of 5 and 10 crossover sites per hybrid, respectively. These occurred at random positions on the chromosomes. The number and the location of the rDNA-sites were determined using in situ hybridization and provided a tool, the FISH-marker, for identifying the NOR-bearing chromosomes in the lily hybrids. Evidence for the occurrence of the FDR-mechanism (first division restitution) of 2n-pollen formation in the LA-hybrids was obtained on the basis of absence of homologous chromosomes of L. longiflorum in the ALA- and OLA-hybrids.
