Simple and consistent production of haploid is always an appealing pursuit for both crop
breeders and researchers. Although diverse strategies have been developed to produce …

Reducing photorespiration in C3 crops could significantly increase rates of photosynthesis
and yield. One method to achieve this would be to integrate C4 photosynthesis into C3 …

Most existing centromeres may have originated as neocentromeres that activated de novo
from noncentromeric regions. However, the evolutionary path from a neocentromere to a …

The ontogenesis and yield formation in crop plants are modified by environmental
conditions. Due to climatic change detected over two decades, the harmful influence of …

Chromosome elimination occurs frequently in interspecific hybrids between distantly related
species in Poaceae. However, chromosomes from both parents behave stably in a hybrid of …

Production of doubled haploid (DH) cereals is becoming increasingly important in crop
breeding programs, but the methods currently applied still remain inefficient. In this study, we …

Oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars 'Bingo'and 'Chwat'were used to compare the embryogenesis
competence of another culture. Despite the embryo-like structures obtained from both tested …

As a result of oat (Avena sativa L.)× maize (Zea mays L.) crossing, maize chromosomes may
not be completely eliminated at the early stages of embryogenesis, leading to the oat× …

The efficiency of embryogenesis of anther culture was compared using four cultivars of oat
(Avena sativa L.):'Akt','Bingo','Bajka', and 'Chwat'. Despite the high resistance of oat to the …

Background The oat× maize addition (OMA) lines are used for map** of the maize
genome, the studies of centromere-specific histone (CENH3), gene expression, meiotic …
