Doubled Haploid Breeding

Four Indian and one Japanese accession of Imperata cylindrica were assessed for their influence upon haploid production in F<sub>1</sub> generations of 21 wheat crosses (winter &times; spring, spring &times; spring and winter &times; winter) to find an efficient pollen source for haploid induction, which would enhance doubled haploid breeding in bread wheat. The frequency of haploid induction was influenced differently by the wheat and the I. cylindrica genotypes, indicating both maternal and paternal genetic influence on haploid induction. The gene actions controlling the inheritance of&nbsp; haploid induction&nbsp; appeared to be non-additive. Haploid formation efficiency was closely associated with other haploid induction parameters, i.e. pseudoseed formation, embryo formation and haploid regeneration. Amongst wheat F<sub>1</sub> groups, spring &times; spring wheats exhibited the highest potential for haploid induction. General combining ability for haploid production was highest for the, I. cylindrica genotype Ic-Aru, native to the northeastern Himalayas, which appears as a potential pollen source for efficient haploid induction in bread wheat.

Abstract Protocols leading to the development of doubled haploid (DH) lines by microspore culture are widely used in white cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.), but efficiency varies according to the cultivar and induction procedure. Forty different genotypes consisting of F1 cultivars and their crosses with responsive doubled haploid lines were tested to evaluate the androgenic response. In total, 20,032 embryos were produced. On average, the haploid induction response of F1 cultivars was 7.0 embryos/Petri dish, but the average of these hybrids crossed to responsive DH lines was 26.6 embryos/Petri dish. In seven reciprocal crosses, a difference was observed in just one, meaning that the maternal effect probably has a minor influence on haploid embryogenesis in cabbage. Addition of 0.02% activated charcoal (AC) to the induction media increased embryo formation in several low-responsive genotypes, but its effect on embryo formation of high-responsive genotypes was predominantly negative, although larger embryos were formed on media containing AC than without AC. Further development into plantlets was tested by two procedures. Formed embryos were either transferred directly to regeneration medium or treated with abscisic acid and desiccated for 4 weeks. Regrowth and further development reached on average 15.5 and 57.6%, for the first and second procedures, respectively. Plantlets developed by direct transfer often exhibited abnormal development or hyperhydricity, unlike the desiccated embryos. Spontaneous diploidisation of embryos reached 42.5% in total and was not affected by AC added to the induction media.

Root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus thornei Sher and Allen and P. neglectus (Rensch) Filipijev and Schuurmans Stekhoven) cause substantial yield loss to wheat crops in the northern grain region of Australia. Resistance to P. thornei for use in wheat breeding programs was sought among synthetic hexaploid wheats (2n = 6x = 42, AABBDD) produced through hybridisations of Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn (2n = 4x = 28, AABB) with Aegilops tauschii Coss. (2n = 2x = 14, DD). Resistance was determined for the synthetic hexaploid wheats and their durum and Ae. tauschii parents from the numbers of nematodes in the roots of plants grown for 16 weeks in pots of pasteurised soil inoculated with P. thornei. Fifty-nine (32%) of 186 accessions of synthetic hexaploid wheats had lower numbers of nematodes than Gatcher Selection 50a (GS50a), a partially resistant bread wheat. Greater frequencies of partial resistance were present in the durum parents (72% of 39 lines having lower nematode numbers than GS50a) and in the Ae. tauschii parents (55% of 53 lines). The 59 synthetic hexaploids were re-tested in a second experiment along with their parents. In a third experiment, 11 resistant synthetic hexaploid wheats and their F1 hybrids with Janz, a susceptible bread wheat, were tested and the F1s were found to give nematode counts intermediate between the respective two parents. Synthetic hexaploid wheats with higher levels of resistance resulted from hybridisations where both the durum and Ae. tauschii parents were partially resistant, rather than where only one parent was partially resistant. These results suggest that resistance to P. thornei in synthetic hexaploid wheats is polygenic, with resistances located both in the D genome from Ae. tauschii and in the A and/or B genomes from durum. Five synthetic hexaploid wheats were selected for further study on the basis of (1) a high level of resistance to P. thornei of the synthetic hexaploid wheats and of both their durum and Ae. tauschii parents, (2) being representative of both Australian and CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) durums, and (3) being representative of the morphological subspecies and varieties of Ae. tauschii. These 5 synthetic hexaploid wheats were also shown to be resistant to P. neglectus, whereas GS50a and 2 P. thornei-resistant derivatives were quite susceptible. Results of P. thornei resistance of F1s and F2s from a half diallel of these 5 synthetic hexaploid wheats, GS50a, and Janz from another study indicate polygenic additive resistance and better general combining ability for the synthetic hexaploid wheats than for GS50a. Published molecular marker studies on a doubled haploid population between the synthetic hexaploid wheat with best general combining ability (CPI133872) and Janz have shown quantitative trait loci for resistance located in all 3 genomes. Synthetic hexaploid wheats offer a convenient way of introgressing new resistances to P. thornei and P. neglectus from both durum and Ae. tauschii into commercial bread wheats.

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.

The root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei causes substantial loss to bread wheat production in the northern grain region of Australia and other parts of the world. West Asia and North Africa (WANA) wheat accessions with partial resistance to P. thornei were analysed for mode of inheritance in a half-diallel crossing design of F1 hybrids (10 parents) and F2 populations (7 parents). General combining ability was more important than specific combining ability as indicated by components of variance ratios of 0.93 and 0.95 in diallel ANOVA of the F1 and F2 generations, respectively. General combining ability values of the ‘resistant’ parents were predictive of the mean nematode numbers of their progeny in crosses with the susceptible Australian cv. Janz at the F1 (R2 = 0.86, P < 0.001, 8 crosses), F2 (R2 = 0.83, P < 0.001, 9 populations) and F∞ (R2 = 0.71, P < 0.05, 5 doubled-haploid populations). The F2 and F∞ populations showed relatively continuous distributions. Heritability was 0.68 for F2 populations in the half-diallel of resistant parents and 0.82–0.92 for 5 ‘resistant’ parent/Janz doubled-haploid populations (narrow-sense heritability on a line mean basis). The results indicate polygenic inheritance of P. thornei resistance with a minimum of from 2 to 6 genes involved in individual F∞ populations of 5 resistant parents crossed with Janz. Morocco 426 and Iraq 43 appear to be the best of the parents tested for breeding for resistance to P. thornei. None of the P. thornei-resistant WANA accessions was resistant to Pratylenchus neglectus.

Comparisons between androgenesis and maize-mediated haploid production efficiencies were made in six F1 genotypes each of winter × spring wheat and triticale × wheat crosses. The haploid status of the plantlets obtained was confirmed through cytological examination of the root tips. Much higher embryo formation (15.2%), haploid induction (8.7%) and doubled haploid production (8.3%) were obtained in the winter × spring wheat F1s through the wheat × maize system than by androgenesis (3.1%, 3.2 and 2.7%, respectively). Three of the triticale × wheat F1 genotypes failed to respond to androgenesis, while no haploids were recovered through the wheat × maize system in any of the six triticale × wheat F1s. Genotypic specificity, low callus induction and albinism reduced the efficiency of androgenesis both in winter × spring wheat and triticale × wheat hybrids. In all, the wheat × maize system proved to be better for winter × spring wheat hybrids and androgenesis for triticale × wheat hybrids.
