An efficient microspore culture protocol was used to rapidly produce homozygous doubled haploid (DH) progeny of crosses between low erucic canola and high erucic resynthesized rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Microspores of Canadian cultivars ‘Excel’ and ‘Profit’ as well as three F1 hybrids with the resynthetic line RS239 were treated with colchicine immediately after isolation. Flow cytometry was...

Abstract The high lignin content of the seed hull oilseed rape leads to its black color compared yellow seeded soybean. Reducing and increasing oil protein is an important breeding aim in rape. objective present study was analyze inheritance two rapeseed genetic resources with reduced seeds elucidate effects on germination composition. These were crossed Express 617 F1 plants used develop doubl...

The paper presents a proposition for detection of linkage of genes responsible for metrical traits. Taking into account the expected means for early generations (F(1), F(2), F(3)) and a population of homozygous lines (in this case doubled haploid lines, DH derived from a cross between two homozygous parents) as well as estimators of genetic parameters m, [d], [i], [h] and [l], the expected valu...

Doubled haploid (DH) populations, particularly those from subspecies crosses possessing the wide compatible gene S5n , are important germplasm resources for rice genetic studies and breeding, but their feature and potential have not been fully assessed and explored. In the present study, we produced a DH population from the hybrid of japonica 668B and wide compatible indica T23. Genotyping of t...

haploid inducer line can be transferred (DH) technology can not only shorten the breeding process but also increase genetic gain. Haploid induction and subsequent genome doubling are the two main steps required for DH technology. Haploids have been generated through the culture of immature male and female gametophytes, and through inter- and intraspecific via chromosome elimination. Here, we fo...

Amylopectin concentration in barley endosperm has important effects on grain quality and end-use. In this study, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis together with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed to identify markers linked to grain amylopectin content respectively using a doubled haploid (DH) population of 178 lines and a collection of 185 diverse barley germplasms both...

As large-scale DNA sequencing technologies become more efficient and cheaper, the genomic DNAs of more and more plants are being sequenced, assembled, and annotated. These complete sequences are extremely valuable for the identification of specific genes associated with important phenotypes. The purpose of this document is to propose an efficient strategy for an international effort to sequence...
