C1-I haploid inducer
Summary:
The C1-I haploid inducer is a maternal haploid inducer line, fixed for the allele C1-I. C1 is a transcription factor in the anthocyanin pathway. The allele C1-I suppresses the formation of anthocyanin even in the presence of R1-nj, a visual selectable marker commonly used in haploid selection. Thus C1-I haploid inducer allows to induce and...

Gene controlling spontaneous haploid genome doubling in maize
Summary:
ISU researchers identified a maize chromosomal region and markers associated with the ability of haploid plants to spontaneously double their genome, and thus become DH/inbred lines. Genome doubling without particular treatment, greenhouse cultivation and transplanting can substantially reduce the costs of DH line production. The chromosomal...

Spontaneous Haploid Genome Doubling Maize Donor Line
Summary: ISU researchers have bred donor maize lines with increased propensity to spontaneously double their haploid genomes, and thus become doubled haploid (DH)/inbred lines. This finding open a path to reduce the costs associated with DH maize production. The donor lines of this invention and associated DNA markers of ISURF invention disclosure...
