A Gamma Ray–Induced Dwarf and Early Mutant of Brassica juncea With Favourable Traits for Developing High‐Yielding, Dwarf/Semi‐Dwarf Genotypes

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction of dwarfism to cereals has set a new paradigm in crop improvement programmes. To date, very little progress has been made in the development of high‐yielding dwarf/semi‐dwarf genotypes in oilseed Brassica. Previous attempts using induced mutagenesis employed in the induction of dwarfism in Brassica crops yielded limited success ...

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 ...

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 ...
