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
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 ...

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.

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 ...
