The F 1 interspecific hybrids tend to cluster with one of the parent species or species groups unless the parents are widely divergent. Also, the F 1 interspecific hybrids between wild and domesticated species cluster with the wild parent Both parent species or species groups of an F 1 interspecific hybrid can usually be determined from Q‐correlation values. It is essential that compatibility relations be determined between species; i.e., species groups must be established before Q‐correlation values can be successfully used in determining the parentage of hybrids. Undescribed collections can usually be correctly placed in the proper species group.Read More
