Plant breeding is a key mechanism for adaptation of cropping systems to climate change.
Much discussion of breeding for climate change focuses on genes with large effects on heat …

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 …

Doubled haploid technology has been widely applied to multiple plant species and is
recognized as one of the most important technologies for improving crop breeding efficiency …

Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves double fertilization, the union of two sperm
from pollen with two sex cells in the female embryo sac. Modern plant breeders increasingly …

Intraspecific haploid induction in maize (Zea mays) is triggered by a native frameshift
mutation in MATRILINEAL (MATL), which encodes a pollen-specific phospholipase. To …

Maize is one of the most important crops in the world and is also an essential raw material
for the food, fuel, and fodder industries. Maize hybrids are widely used today, and gain of …

Gynogenesis is an asexual mode of reproduction common to animals and plants, in which
stimuli from the sperm cell trigger the development of the unfertilized egg cell into a haploid …

Doubled haploid (DH) breeding based on in vivo haploid induction has led to a new
approach for maize breeding. All modern haploid inducers used in DH breeding are derived …

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 …

Mixing maternal and paternal genomes in embryos is not only responsible for the
evolutionary success of sexual reproduction, but is also a cornerstone of plant breeding …
