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 …

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 …

Androgenesis has become the most frequently chosen method of doubled haploid (DH)
production in major crops. Theoretically, plantlets derived from in vitro cultured microspore …

Key message A breeding strategy with moderate nursery selection followed by genomic
selection and one-stage phenotypic selection maximizes annual selection gain for grain …

Amid a rapidly growing global population and increasing threats to crop yields, this review
focuses on Speed Breeding (SB) in crop genetics. It traces SB's development from carbon …

Maize is a heterosis-utilizing crop species, and the application of maize hybrids has
significantly improved total maize yields worldwide. Breeding pure lines is the most …

Maize doubled haploid (DH) lines are usually created in vivo, through crosses with maternal
haploid inducers. These inducers have the inherent ability of generating seeds with haploid …

One of the critical limitations for the in vivo production of doubled haploid (DH) lines in maize
(Zea mays L.) is the inability to effectively identify haploids in a significant proportion of …

Exploitation of biotechnological tools in conventional breeding strategies is the need of the
hour for overcoming limitations in rice production and productivity. In addition, improvement …

Over the past decades, advances in plant biotechnology have allowed the development of
genetically modified maize varieties that have significantly impacted agricultural …
