The use of haploid induction in crop breeding offers a transformative approach to accelerating the development of new, highly uniform cultivars. By generating plants with a single set of chromosomes ...
Haploid plants, which carry only a single set of chromosomes, are typically sterile, making them valuable but difficult to use in breeding. A rare peach haploid mutant, '9-D', surprisingly exhibited ...
Conventional crop breeding is not time-efficient for creating inbred lines with desired genetic traits owing to the diploid nature of plants, wherein they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each ...
