RNAi-mediated downregulation of AcCENH3 can induce in vivo haploids in onion (Allium cepa L.)

Scientific Reports
Haploid induction (HI) holds great promise in expediting the breeding process in onion, a biennial cross-pollinated crop. We used the CENH3-based genome elimination technique in producing a HI line in onion.
