Production and identification of doubled haploids in tropical maize.
The production of maize doubled haploid (DH) lines is a technique commonly used by private companies, but not by Brazilian public institutions. Research on this technique is essential to develop and improve the production of DH lines grown under tropical conditions. We assessed the ability of a gynogenetic haploid inducer system to induce haploids in a tropical environment, assessed the inducti...
متن کاملHaploids and Doubled Haploids in Plant Breeding
Haploids are plants (sporophytes) that contain a gametic chromosome number (n). They can originate spontaneously in nature or as a result of various induction techniques. Spontaneous development of haploid plants has been known since 1922, when Blakeslee first described this phenomenon in Datura stramonium (Blakeslee et al., 1922); this was subsequently followed by similar reports in tobacco (N...
متن کاملUnlocking the Genetic Diversity of Maize Landraces with Doubled Haploids Opens New Avenues for Breeding
Landraces are valuable genetic resources for broadening the genetic base of elite germplasm in maize. Extensive exploitation of landraces has been hampered by their genetic heterogeneity and heavy genetic load. These limitations may be overcome by the in-vivo doubled haploid (DH) technique. A set of 132 DH lines derived from three European landraces and 106 elite flint (EF) lines were genotyped...

متن کاملThe Use of Doubled-haploids in Cassava Breeding
Cassava breeding is difficult and, compared with other crops, inefficient. The problems in cassava breeding relate to the length of the breeding cycle, the large genetic load present in the crop, and the heterozygous nature of the parents and progenies evaluated. The production of doubled haploids, through tissue culture techniques, offers interesting advantages. By definition, any process that...
