Varieties of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) of low wheat–rye crossability showed increased seed set if pollinated with cultivated rye (Secale cereale L.) before the wheat spike attained maximum receptivity to wheat pollen (before the stage of first anthesis). After first anthesis the development of hybrid seed progressively deteriorated with increasing lateness of pollination. Premature or 'bud' pollination may be a useful approach for overcoming intergeneric cross-incompatibility barriers in the Triticineae.

Five inbred lines of rye (Secale cereale L.) and an open-pollinated rye cultivar were used to pollinate wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars of differeing crossability. No hybrid seed was produced with the cultivar of low crossability, but with the highly crossable cultivar an average seed set of 65% was obtained. Significant differences in terms of seed set and weight of F1 seed were detected among the inbreds.
