Embodiment Construction

[0040] The following description is merely exemplary in nature and should not be taken to limit the invention, its application or uses.

[0041] The present disclosure provides a novel method for promoting germplasm improvement activities in seeds such as cauliflower, kale, carrot, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, cucumber, dried beans, eggplant, Fennel, green beans, gourds, leeks, lettuce, melon, okra, onions, peas, peppers, squash, radishes, spinach, squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, and watermelon. The method can be used to analyze seeds to identify and select seeds that include one or more desired traits, markers and genotypes. In one aspect of the invention, the method of analysis allows for the analysis of individual seeds present in a bulk seed population or a bulk seed population, enabling the determination of the chemical and / or genetic characteristics of these individual seeds.

[0042] Devices, systems and methods for high throughput non-destructive seed sampling have bee...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides for systems and method for producing hybrid seed. In various embodiments, the disclosure provides a system for the high-throughput, nondestructive sampling of seeds. In another embodiment, a high-throughput, nondestructive method for producing hybrid seeds comprises removing a sample from a plurality of seeds in the population while preserving the germination viability of the seed and analyzing the sample for the presence or absence of one or more genetic markers indicative of a male-sterile gene.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 60 / 968,800, filed August 29, 2007. The disclosures of the aforementioned applications are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of crop breeding. More specifically, the present invention provides systems and methods for producing various hybrid seeds. Background technique [0004] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. [0005] Currently, various hybrid seeds are produced by artificial emasculation to remove the male flower portion of the female parent and subsequently artificially pollinate the female flower with pollen from the male parent. This method is labour-intensive and very expensive, and also limits seed production to areas where the use of human labor is available a...
