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 ...

The production of doubled haploids (DH) has become a necessary tool in advanced plant breeding institutes and commercial companies for breeding many crop species. However, the development of new, more ...

Haploid induction has emerged as a transformative approach in modern plant breeding, enabling the rapid production of homozygous lines. By generating plants that carry a single set of chromosomes, ...

Faster breeding brings climate-adapted, high-yielding, robust varieties to the fields more quickly. These varieties have greater tolerance to drought or heat, for example. This increases yield ...
