With the development of molecular marker technology in the 1980s, the fate of plant
breeding has changed. Different types of molecular markers have been developed and …

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 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 …

Use of doubled haploid (DH) lines produced by in vivo induction of maternal haploids are
routinely used in maize (Zea mays L.) breeding. Major advantages of DH lines in hybrid …

Androgenesis can be defined as the set of biological processes leading to an individual
genetically coming exclusively from a male nucleus. Androgenesis was traditionally …

Androgenesis, which entails cell fate redirection within the microgametophyte, is employed
widely for genetic gain in plant breeding programs. Moreover, androgenesis-responsive …

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 …

For in vivo production of doubled haploid (DH) lines in maize, the rate of haploid induction is
of crucial importance. Maternal haploid induction depends primarily on the inducer used as …

Doubled haploid (DH) maize lines can be produced by in vitro and in vivo techniques. The in
vitro approach is focused on anther and microspore culture. However, most maize …

Doubled haploid (DH) line production through in vivo maternal haploid induction is widely
adopted in maize breeding programs. The established protocol for DH production includes …
