Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for inducing haploid in maize. Background technique
[0002] Haploid refers to an individual with the number of gamete chromosomes. Since the number of haploid chromosomes is only the number of gametophyte chromosomes, once doubled, pure lines can be obtained, and pure line selection is a very critical link in the utilization of heterosis, so the utilization value of haploid is undoubtedly huge.
[0003] Haploid breeding refers to the way of obtaining haploids by various methods, obtaining homozygous diploids through chromosome doubling, and selecting at the haploid and diploid levels in order to breed excellent pure-line varieties. In 1964, haploid plants were successfully obtained by culturing datura anthers (Guha and Maheshwari, 1964), followed by an upsurge in haploid research, which developed rapidly. The advantages of haploid breeding are as follows: 1) Shorten the breeding process. It usually takes 6 t...
