The invention relates to a treatment method for inducing maize
parthenogenesis with
colchicine. The method is characterized in that when female ear filaments are completely exposed, a paper bag is removed; the upper-portion of a flower
bud is
cut transversely from a female ear flower
bud at a place from the top and close to the female ear young ear downward; a part of filaments is
cut at the section with a curved graver, such that a cavity with a depth of 5-15mm is formed; an inducing agent which is
colchicine treatment liquid is injected into the cavity with a
pipette or a
syringe, such that the cavity is filled with the liquid and the entire
cut surface is wetted by the liquid; and the female ear is sleeved with the paper bag. During the treatment process, no
pollen contamination prevention measure such as sealing, blocking, spatial and temporal isolation, and the like is needed. The method has the following advantages: harm to
human health caused by treatment liquid dropping, spilling and
scratching are avoided; a hard-to-solve
pollen contamination problem is thoroughly solved; all filaments can contact the treatment liquid, and treatment liquid
retention time is long, such that an induction rate is improved; the treatment liquid is saved by approximately 50%; and compared to a conventional inbred line breeding method, a breeding period is shortened by more than 5 generations.
