Document Number: 20060218679

Abstract:

A method for producing an interspecific hybrid Euphorbia plant. The method comprises: (a) providing a first plant which is a Euphorbia pulcherrima plant and a second plant which is a species of Euphorbia selected from the group consisting of Euphorbia cornastra, Euphorbia radians, Euphorbia colorata and Euphorbia fulgens; (b) pollinating a flower of the second plant with pollen from the first plant or a flower of the first plant with pollen from the second plant in a manner which permits formation of an embryo in at least one ovule of the pollinated plant; (c) cutting the embryo; and (d) culturing the cut embryo by placing the cut embryo in contact with culture medium to permit growth of the embryo to thereby produce a primary plant.
