Syngenta Biotechnology China-led research, with partners in the U.S., France, the UK, Chile, the Netherlands, Argentina, and across China, has discovered that sunflowers can form viable haploid seeds ...

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 ...

Anther culture has emerged as a pivotal technique in rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeding, offering a rapid route to homozygous line development and serving as a robust platform for genetic transformation.

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 ...

developed an efficient haploid identification (HID) system for wheat by seamlessly integrating a two-fluorescent protein-based HID toolbox with a MATRILINEAL (MTL) mutant haploid induction (HI) wheat ...
