A 4-bp Insertion at ZmPLA1 Encoding a Putative Phospholipase A Generates Haploid Induction in Maize
Chenxu Liu,Xiang Li,Dexuan Meng,Yu Zhong,Chen Chen,Xin Dong,Xiaowei Xu,Baojian Chen,Wei Li,Liang Li,Xiaolong Tian,Haiming Zhao,Weibin Song,Haishan Luo,Qinghua Zhang,Jinsheng Lai,Weiwei Jin,Jianbing Yan,Shaojiang Chen +18 more
TL;DR: Stock6-derived inducers have been considered as the most effective method for DH breeding in maize, and are considered to be a crucial step for hybrid breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Insights into the Genetics of in Vivo Induction of Maternal Haploids, the Backbone of Doubled Haploid Technology in Maize
Vanessa Prigge,Vanessa Prigge,Xiaowei Xu,Liang Li,Raman Babu,Shaojiang Chen,Gary Atlin,Albrecht E. Melchinger +7 more
TL;DR: A conceptual genetic framework for inheritance of haploid induction ability is proposed, which is also applicable to other dichotomous traits requiring progeny testing, and discusses the implications of the results for haploid inducer development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yu Zhong,Chenxu Liu,Xiaolong Qi,Yanyan Jiao,Dong Wang,Yuwen Wang,Zongkai Liu,Chen Chen,Baojian Chen,Xiaolong Tian,Jinlong Li,Ming Chen,Xin Dong,Xiaowei Xu,Liang Li,Wei Li,Wenxin Liu,Weiwei Jin,Jinsheng Lai,Shaojiang Chen +19 more
TL;DR: The discovery that mutation of a non-Stock6-originating gene in qhir8, namely, ZmDMP, enhances and triggers haploids induction is presented, providing important approaches for studying the molecular mechanism of haploid induction and improving DH breeding efficiency in maize.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gametophytic and zygotic selection leads to segregation distortion through in vivo induction of a maternal haploid in maize
TL;DR: The results present here showed that both male gametophytic and zygotic selection contributed to severe segregation distortion of a locus, named segregation distortion 1 (sed1), during maternal haploid induction in maize, and provides new insights into the process of double fertilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fertilization and Uniparental Chromosome Elimination during Crosses with Maize Haploid Inducers
TL;DR: It is suggested that selective elimination of uniparental chromosomes leads to the formation of haploid and possible defective kernels in maize as well, which is accompanied with unusual paternal introgression in haploid cells.
