A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Estimation of efficiency of in vitro androgenesis in the production of doubled rice haploids

open access: yesЗерновое хозяйство России
Rice is an important food crop, used to feed a large portion of the world’s population. The use of in vitro anther culture makes possible to develop homozygous offspring and genetically unique material within 1–2 years.

Effects of Antimitotic Agents, Temperature and Immersion Time on Chromosome Doubling Efficiency in Supersweet Corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Doubled haploid technology accelerates the development of fully homozygous maize lines compared with conventional selfing. However, specific protocols for supersweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata), particularly regarding immersion time in antimitotic solutions and temperature during chromosome doubling, remain poorly defined.

Genomic Selection for Haploid Induction Rate in Tropical Maize (Zea mays L.) Haploid Inducer Populations: Insights From Heterotic Pools and Recurrent Selection Cycles

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Doubled‐haploid (DH) technology based on in vivo haploid induction has become an effective strategy for accelerating maize breeding. However, improving haploid inducer populations remains challenging because accurate estimation of haploid induction rate (HIR) requires labour‐intensive phenotypic validation, while putative HIR estimates are ...

Generation of Maize (Zea mays) Doubled Haploids via Traditional Methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Commercial maize hybrid production has corroborated the usefulness of producing inbred lines; however, the delivery of new lines has always been a major time constraint in breeding programs.

Genetic stability of microspore-derived doubled haploids of barley:A cytological, biochemical, and molecular study

open access: yes, 1991
Populations of doubled haploids were produced by culturing microspores from spring barley cv. Tweed, cv. Tyne, and cv. Natasha, on media containing either sucrose or maltose as the only carbohydrate. The populations were analysed for evidence of genetic

Cultivar‐Specific Production of Unreduced Pollen in the Ornamental Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. macrophylla)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unreduced gametes naturally promote polyploidization and are valuable in breeding polyploid offspring. Bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. macrophylla), a major ornamental crop, has shown spontaneous polyploidization rates ranging from 0% to 94% in previous crosses.

Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in Brassica napus

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...

Advances in the Integration of Genomic and Phenomic Tools in Cowpea Breeding for Improving Stress Resilience and Grain Yield and Quality

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a multi‐use crop highly valued as a food crop, high‐protein fodder, and sustainable cover crop. Yet, it remains underused, and yields in most growing regions are below the crop's potential due to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses.
