Developmental Phases

The use of in vivo haploid induction system makes the doubled haploid (DH) technology easier to adopt for the conventional maize breeders. However, despite having played an important role in the initial developmental phases of DH technology, Indian maize research has yet to harvest its benefits. Haploid Inducer Lines (HILs) developed by CIMMYT are being widely used in maize breeding programmes in many countries including India. There, however, is no published information on the efficiency of DH line production using CIMMYT HILs in Indian maize breeding programmes. In the present study, the efficiency of DH production using CIMMYT’s tropically adapted inducer line TAILP1 was investigated with eight source populations including two of sweet corn. The average haploid induction rate (HIR) of TAILP1 was 5.48% with a range of 2.01 to 10.03%. Efficiency of DH production ranged from 0.14 to 1.87% for different source populations with an average of 1.07%. The information generated will be useful for maize breeders intending to use DH technology for accelerated development of completely homozygous lines.

Abstract An investigation to optimize the protocol for application of colchicine for enhancing the doubled haploid production in maize was done. 106 maize genotypes were used as maternal parents, whereas, pollen source involved tropically adopted haploid inducer (TAIL P1 and TAIL hybrid). After the elimination of chromosomes of inducer lines, haploid seeds were obtained from the crosses. Haploid seedlings were treated with three different doses, such as 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 per cent of colchicines for different durations (8, 12 and 15 hours). The response of various colchicine concentrations applied for different time durations revealed significant differences at P ≤ 0.05 for various parameters viz., per cent plants survivability, stalk colour, the fertility of tassel, silk present/absent, pollen viability, seed set and per cent doubled haploid formation. In maize, colchicine doses of 0.04 per cent for 12 hours and 0.06 per cent for 8 hours, respectively were established as optimum for enhanced doubled haploid production. But among these two, 0.04 per cent for 12 hours was observed to be best dose for doubled haploid production in maize.

Phenotype Expression

The current method of doubled haploid (DH) development in maize involves in vivo production of haploids using R1-njbased haploid inducer lines that upon use as male render a small fraction of seed in the pollinated female ears haploid. Identification of haploid seed relies on R1-nj marker expression in the endosperm and embryo, and the degree of its expression determines efficiency of DH development process. In the present study, R1-nj expression in the endosperm was characterized in crosses of CIMMYT’s R1-nj-based haploid inducer TAILP1 with a set comprising 18 early maturity hybrids and their 23 parental inbreds. Kernel colour inhibition was observed only in a small proportion of the hybrids and inbreds. Comparison of R1-nj expression in the hybrids and their parental inbreds revealed a distinct pattern, which may be useful in identifying source populations and/or determining parental constituents for synthesizing source populations with predicted amenability to doubled haploid development using R1-nj-based haploid inducers. However, deviation from the pattern was noted in hybrids involving inbreds with higher degree of colour inhibition, which suggests complex nature of R1-nj phenotype expression and necessitates further investigation involving larger sets of germplasm for dissecting the role of maternal and paternal genetic factors in determining R1-nj phenotype expression. The hybrids found exhibiting complete kernel anthocyanin expression in present study can be used directly as source populations for DH development using R1-nj based haploid inducers. Besides, since the inbreds used in the study have originated from and/or are accessible to CGIAR/NARS maize breeding programmes, the information on their kernel anthocyanin expression can be helpful in selection of source populations or generating new source populations amenable for DH development using R1-nj based haploid inducers.

Abstract The effect of two in planta factors (growth conditions, genotype) and two in vitro factors (time of embryo rescue, embryo rescue medium) on doubled haploid (DH) plant production in bread wheat via maize technique was investigated in nine F1 hybrids produced after crossing four bread wheat cultivars. During the first year one group of F1 plants was grown in a field and at the proper stage pollinated with maize pollen (sweet corn popu-lation). In parallel, a second group of F1 plants was grown in a growth chamber and pollinated as in the former group. In the second growing season the experiment was repeated but only field-grown plants were used. All the produced haploid embryos were cultured in three different media and the resulting 146 haploid plants were sub-sequently treated with aqueous solution of colchicine. Finally, 86 doubled haploid plants were obtained. We noted that the growing conditions of the parental plants and the intervening time between day of pollination and day of embryo rescue influenced the percentage of haploid embryo production. Culture medium also influenced haploid and doubled haploid plant production. The two media (MS/2, B5) were found equally effective. Most of the haploid embryos originated from the Penios × Acheloos cross, whereas most of the doubled haploid plants were produced from the KVZ × Penios cross. Doubled haploid plants were produced from all crosses.

AbstractEnhancing the photosynthetic induction response to fluctuating light has been suggested as a key target for improvement in crop breeding programs, with the potential to substantially increase whole canopy carbon assimilation and contribute to crop yield potential. Rubisco activation may be the main physiological process that will allow us to achieve such a goal. In this study, we phenotypically assessed the rubisco activation rate in a doubled haploid (DH) barley mapping population [131 lines from a Yerong/Franklin (Y/F) cross] after a switch from moderate to saturating light. Rates of rubisco activation were found to be highly variable across the mapping population, with a median activation rate of 0.1 min−1 in the slowest genotype and 0.74 min−1 in the fastest genotype. A QTL for rubisco activation rate was identified on chromosome 7H. This is the first report on the identification of a QTL for rubisco activation rate in planta and the discovery opens the door to marker assisted breeding to improve whole canopy photosynthesis of barley. Further strength is given to this finding as this QTL colocalised with QTLs identified for steady state photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. Several other distinct QTLs were identified for these steady state traits, with a common overlapping QTL on chromosome 2H, and distinct QTLs for photosynthesis and stomatal conductance identified on chromosomes 4H and 5H respectively. Future work should aim to validate these QTLs under field conditions so that they can be used to aid plant breeding efforts.HighlightSignificant variation exists in the photosynthetic induction response after a switch from moderate to saturating light across a barley doubled haploid population. A QTL for rubisco activation rate was identified on chromosome 7H, as well as overlapping QTLs for steady state photosynthesis and stomatal conductance.

Doubled Haploid Breeding

Doubled haploid technology is widely applied in maize. The haploid inducer lines play critical roles in doubled haploid breeding. We report the development of specialized haploid inducer lines that enhance the purple pigmentation of crossing immature embryos. During the development of haploid inducer lines, two breeding populations derived from the CAU3/S23 and CAU5/S23 were used. Molecular marker-assisted selection for both qhir1 and qhir8 was used from BC1F1 to BC1F4. Evaluation of the candidate individuals in each generation was carried out by pollinating to the tester of ZD958. Individuals with fast and clear pigmentation of the crossing immature embryos, high number of haploids per ear, and high haploid induction rate were considered as candidates. Finally, three new haploid inducer lines (CS1, CS2, and CS3) were developed. The first two (CS1 and CS2) were from the CAU3/S23, with a haploid induction rate of 8.29%–13.25% and 11.54%–15.54%, respectively. Meanwhile, the CS3 was from the CAU5/S23. Its haploid induction rate was 8.14%–12.28%. In comparison with the donor haploid inducer lines, the 24-h purple embryo rates of the newly developed haploid inducer lines were improved by 10%–20%, with a ~90% accuracy for the identification of haploid immature embryos. These new haploid inducer lines will further improve the efficiency of doubled haploid breeding of maize.
