Wheat crop has a major role in current food system and global security. Beyond doubt, wheat production increased substantially, however, there been increase world’s population also, thereby, leading to supply demand. To fulfil this demand, science today needs more efficient new technologies for breeding with faster pace. Conventional is time consuming as it requires the selfing from F1 generati...

Having information on the distribution of progeny in a biparental cross—before the cross is made—would be helpful. My objectives were (i) to determine if genomewide markers can be used to accurately predict genotypic values at different classes of loci between two parents (p1 and p2) and (ii) to propose and analyze the use of virtual populations for choosing parents in inbred development. prior...

Barley malt is critical for the malting, brewing, and distilling industries, as it one of main ingredients beer some types spirits. There growing evidence that barley genotype - via can impact flavors beers However, information on genes involved in these lacking. Therefore, we used quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping quality traits, sensory descriptors metabolic compounds a biparental popula...

Factors affecting reliable plant regeneration from unfertilized ovule culture of gentians (Gentiana spp.) were examined. Cold pretreatment (4°C) of flower buds enhanced or maintained production of embryo-like structure (ELS). When 43 genotypes were surveyed in two different labs, 40 of them produced ELSs ranging from 0.01 to 26.5 ELSs per flower bud. No ELSs could be obtained in three genotypes...

Using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae MATa/MATalpha ORF deletion collection, homozygous deletion strains were identified that undergo mating with MATa or MATalpha haploids. Seven homozygous deletions were identified that confer enhanced mating. Three of these, lacking CTF8, CTF18, and DCC1, mate at a low frequency with either MATa or MATalpha haploids. The products of these genes form a complex in...

Haploid technologies are used to create homozygous lines for accelerated breeding. We aimed optimize the technology using isolated microspore culture in vitro obtain doubled haploids of carrot (Daucus carota L.).
 studied two varieties with different responsiveness embryogenesis, Altajskaya lakomka and Breeding line 17. Carrot microspores were from buds cultivated liquid nutrient media sup...

Doubled haploid (DH) technology is a powerful tool in plant breeding to reduce the time and costs needed to produce pure lines, the cornerstone of hybrid seed production. This biotechnological alternative to classic methods allows for a reduction of the typical 7–8 inbreeding generations needed to fix a hybrid genotype to only one in vitro generation. It is therefore much faster and cheaper, be...
