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 ...

An agronomist has launched a Doubled Haploid Facility that can develop pure, inbred corn lines in less time than traditional methods. Agronomists at Iowa State University are offering doubled haploid ...

Something that could take up to a half dozen years to complete can now be developed in a couple of years. In the plant-breeding world, it’s nothing short of a small miracle. Research by Tanveer ...

For the past several years sorghum research has lagged behind that of corn and soybeans, but that could soon change with technology advances. DuPont Pioneer partnered with the Sorghum Checkoff to ...

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 ...

Wheat variety trials from Oklahoma State University (OSU) now include entries with a “D” in the identifier. The experimental lines are the result of doubled haploid (DH) technology, which allows an ...

Generating haploid plants for the purpose of obtaining pure doubled haploid (DH) lines is widely recognized as one of the most efficient breeding strategies in modern agriculture. Watermelon ...

Ovary culture is among the most effective techniques for haploid induction in horticultural crops, including cucumber. The application of doubled haploid technology can significantly accelerate ...
