The use of haploid induction in crop breeding offers a transformative approach to accelerating the development of new, highly uniform cultivars. By generating plants with a single set of chromosomes ...

Haploid plants, which carry only a single set of chromosomes, are typically sterile, making them valuable but difficult to use in breeding. A rare peach haploid mutant, '9-D', surprisingly exhibited ...

Conventional crop breeding is not time-efficient for creating inbred lines with desired genetic traits owing to the diploid nature of plants, wherein they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each ...

When new pests, diseases or environmental issues are identified in Texas wheat, expertise in doubled haploid development can help find solutions in less than half the time of traditional breeding ...
