Key Message Increased efficiencies achieved in different steps of DH line production offer
greater benefits to maize breeding programs. Abstract Doubled haploid (DH) technology has …

The discovery of haploids in higher plants led to the use of doubled haploid (DH) technology
in plant breeding. This article provides the state of the art on DH technology including the …

The availability of dense molecular markers has made possible the use of genomic selection
(GS) for plant breeding. However, the evaluation of models for GS in real plant populations …

The first haploid angiosperm, a dwarf form of cotton with half the normal chromosome
complement, was discovered in 1920, and in the ninety years since then such plants have …

Genomic selection (GS) involves selection decisions based on genomic breeding values
estimated as the sum of the effects of genome-wide markers capturing most quantitative trait …

Background Genomic selection or genome-wide selection (GS) has been highlighted as a
new approach for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in recent years. GS is a form of MAS that …

Current methods for genomewide selection do not distinguish between known major genes
and random genomewide markers. My objectives were to determine if explicitly modeling …

Traditional breeding strategies for selecting superior genotypes depending on phenotypic
traits have proven to be of limited success, as this direct selection is hindered by low …

The major abiotic and biotic stresses that adversely affect yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum
L.) include drought, heat, fusarium wilt, ascochyta blight and pod borer. Excellent progress …

Summary haploid inducer line can be transferred (DH) technology can not only shorten the
breeding process but also increase genetic gain. Haploid induction and subsequent …
