In 2006 and 2007, Oregon State University students conducted research on fritillary hybridization and genetic diversity throughout its range. So far research determined the plant is of hybrid origin and while intrapopulation crosses do not typically yield seed, these interpopulation crosses sometimes produce viable seed. A new molecular study is slated for 2024 that will greatly assist in identifying and detecting Gentner's fritillary plants that are not flowering.

This project has so far been partially successful and will be useful to show the species makeup of various fritillary populations. We are looking forward to have results in 2024 or 2025.
Recovery Plan for Fritillaria gentneri (Gentner's Fritillary)	F	1	Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office (503) 231-6179	Gentner's Fritillary	Fritillaria gentneri	3	3.7	Research potential for sexual reproduction	Ongoing Not Current	FY 2000 - FY 2004	FY 2007	Other	City of Jacksonville and Jacksonville Woodlands Association, Forest Service , Oregon Department of Agriculture - Plant Conservation Program, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service	Research: Propagation, Research: Genetics	Contract, Graduate Student	The FWS and Medford BLM funded different aspects of this project. The ODA submitted a final report in FY2007 that determined Fritillaria gentneri results from hybrid origin from F. affinis and F. recurva. F. recurva also appear to be derived from crosses of various crosses of F. gentneri/F. recurva and F. affinis/recurva. Some samples of F. gentneri had fertile pollen and ovules capable of sexual reproduction. The outcome of studies seem to indicate the species is capable of sexual reproduction, but it is very rare.

The ODA submitted a final report in FY2007 that determined Fritillaria gentneri resulted from hybrid origin, but is capable of sexual reproduction. The plant also appears to be capable of rare intrapopulation crossing. It is unknown why some populations seem to produce more seedset than others. Preliminary molecular research indicates Gentner's fritillary, chocolate fritillary, and scarlet fritillary all share a percentage of each others genetics.
Recovery Plan for Fritillaria gentneri (Gentner's Fritillary)	F	1	Oregon Fish and Wildlife Office (503) 231-6179	Gentner's Fritillary	Fritillaria gentneri	3	3.9	Determine feasibility of bulb salvage	Complete	FY 2000 - FY 2004	FY 2008	Other	Oregon Department of Agriculture - Plant Conservation Program, U.S. Bureau of Land Management	Research: Propagation	Graduate Student, Internal Field Assistance	ODA has determined fritillary bulbs and bulblets can be collected, grown to mature plants and then outplanted with a high survival rate. Planting in appropriate suitable micro-habitat is very important. It is not completely understood what habitat produces the best results, but it may depend on forest condition, soil type, and lack of herbivories. Fritillary bulb plantings have achieved approximately 48% success.
