Abstract
Doubled haploid (DH) technology and synthetic apomixis approaches can considerably shorten breeding cycles and enhance breeding efficiency. Compared with traditional breeding methods, DH technology offers the advantage of rapidly generating inbred lines, while synthetic apomixis can effectively fix hybrid vigor. In this review, we focus on (i) recent advances in identifying and characterizing genes responsible for haploid induction (HI), (ii) the molecular mechanisms of HI, (iii) spontaneous haploid genome doubling, and (iv) crop synthetic apomixis. We also discuss the challenges and potential solutions for future crop breeding programs utilizing DH technology and synthetic apomixis. Finally, we provide our perspectives about how to integrate DH and synthetic apomixis for precision breeding and de novo domestication.

Accelerating haploid induction rate and haploid validation through marker-assisted selection for qhir1 and qhir8 in maize. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1337463. [PMID: 38504887 PMCID: PMC10948437 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1337463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
Doubled haploid (DH) technology becomes more routinely applied in maize hybrid breeding. However, some issues in haploid induction and identification persist, requiring resolution to optimize DH production. Our objective was to implement simultaneous marker-assisted selection (MAS) for qhir1 (MTL/ZmPLA1/NLD) and qhir8 (ZmDMP) using TaqMan assay in F2 generation of four BHI306-derived tropical × temperate inducer families. We also aimed to assess their haploid induction rate (HIR) in the F3 generation as a phenotypic response to MAS. We highlighted remarkable increases in HIR of each inducer family. Genotypes carrying qhir1 and qhir8 exhibited 1 - 3-fold higher haploid frequency than those carrying only qhir1. Additionally, the qhir1 marker was employed for verifying putative haploid seedlings at 7 days after planting. Flow cytometric analysis served as the gold standard test to assess the accuracy of the R1-nj and the qhir1 marker. The qhir1 marker showed high accuracy and may be integrated in multiple haploid identifications at early seedling stage succeeding pre-haploid sorting via R1-nj marker.

Abstract
In maize, doubled haploid (DH) lines are created in vivo through crosses with maternal haploid inducers. Their induction ability, usually expressed as haploid induction rate (HIR), is known to be under polygenic control. Although two major genes (MTL and ZmDMP) affecting this trait were recently described, many others remain unknown. To identify them, we designed and performed a SNP based (~9007) genome-wide association study using a large and diverse panel of 159 maternal haploid inducers. Our analyses identified a major gene near MTL, which is present in all inducers and necessary to disrupt haploid induction. We also found a significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) on chromosome 10 using a case-control mapping approach, in which 793 noninducers were used as controls. This QTL harbors a kokopelli ortholog, whose role in maternal haploid induction was recently described in Arabidopsis. QTL with smaller effects were identified on six of the ten maize chromosomes, confirming the polygenic nature of this trait. These QTL could be incorporated into inducer breeding programs through marker-assisted selection approaches. Further improving HIR is important to reduce the cost of DH line production.

Abstract
Doubled haploid (DH) technology is a tool used to develop large numbers of inbred lines and increase the rate of genetic gain by shortening the breeding cycles. However, previous attempts to produce DH sunflower plants (Helianthus spp.) have resulted in limited success. In this research, we applied gamma-induced parthenogenesis to assist the production of DH sunflowers. The objectives of the study included (1) identifying optimal gamma ray doses for inducing DH sunflowers using two cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines as female plants and two male pollinators with recognizable morphological markers, (2) selecting new male pollinators from wild sunflower varieties, and (3) testing the efficacy of the selected male pollinators using emasculated non-male sterile sunflower lines as female plants. In these experiments, pollen grains were irradiated with gamma ray doses ranging from 50 to 200 Gy. The optimal gamma ray dose for pollen grain irradiation and DH plant production was identified to be 100 Gy. In addition, a cultivated (G11/1440) and a wild-type (ANN1811) sunflower line can be used as common male pollinators for their distinctive morphological markers and wide capacity for DH induction by gamma-irradiated pollen grains.

Abstract
Rapeseed is one of the most important oil crops in the world. Increasing demand for oil and limited agronomic capabilities of present-day rapeseed result in the need for rapid development of new, superior cultivars. Double haploid (DH) technology is a fast and convenient approach in plant breeding as well as genetic research. Brassica napus is considered a model species for DH production based on microspore embryogenesis; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying microspore reprogramming are still vague. It is known that morphological changes are accompanied by gene and protein expression patterns, alongside carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Novel, more efficient methods for DH rapeseed production have been reported. This review covers new findings and advances in Brassica napus DH production as well as the latest reports related to agronomically important traits in molecular studies employing the double haploid rapeseed lines.

Abstract
Doubled haploid (DH) technology is an important approach to accelerate genetic gain via a shortened breeding cycle, which relies on the ability to generate haploid cells that develop into haploids or doubled haploid embryos and plants. Both in vitro and in vivo (in seed) methods can be used for haploid production. In vitro culture of gametophytes (microspores and megaspores) or their surrounding floral tissues or organs (anthers, ovaries, or ovules) has generated haploid plants in wheat, rice, cucumber, tomato, and many other crops. In vivo methods utilize pollen irradiation or wide crossing or in certain species leverage genetic mutant haploid inducer lines. Haploid inducers were widespread in corn and barley, and recent cloning of the inducer genes and identification of the causal mutations in corn have led to the establishment of in vivo haploid inducer systems via genome editing of orthologous genes in more diverse species. Further combination of DH and genome editing technology led to the development of novel breeding technologies such as HI-EDIT™. In this chapter, we will review in vivo haploid induction and new breeding technologies that combine haploid induction and genome editing.

Abstract
Maize (Zea mays) is one of the most important food crops in the world with the greatest global production, and contributes to satiating the demands for human food, animal feed, and biofuels. With population growth and deteriorating environment, efficient and innovative breeding strategies to develop maize varieties with high yield and stress resistance are urgently needed to augment global food security and sustainable agriculture. CRISPR-Cas-mediated genome-editing technology (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas (CRISPR-associated)) has emerged as an effective and powerful tool for plant science and crop improvement, and is likely to accelerate crop breeding in ways dissimilar to crossbreeding and transgenic technologies. In this review, we summarize the current applications and prospects of CRISPR-Cas technology in maize gene-function studies and the generation of new germplasm for increased yield, specialty corns, plant architecture, stress response, haploid induction, and male sterility. Optimization of gene editing and genetic transformation systems for maize is also briefly reviewed. Lastly, the challenges and new opportunities that arise with the use of the CRISPR-Cas technology for maize genetic improvement are discussed.

Abstract
Over the past decades, advances in plant biotechnology have allowed the development of genetically modified maize varieties that have significantly impacted agricultural management and improved the grain yield worldwide. To date, genetically modified varieties represent 30% of the world's maize cultivated area and incorporate traits such as herbicide, insect and disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, high yield, and improved nutritional quality. Maize transformation, which is a prerequisite for genetically modified maize development, is no longer a major bottleneck. Protocols using morphogenic regulators have evolved significantly towards increasing transformation frequency and genotype independence. Emerging technologies using either stable or transient expression and tissue culture-independent methods, such as direct genome editing using RNA-guided endonuclease system as an in vivo desired-target mutator, simultaneous double haploid production and editing/haploid-inducer-mediated genome editing, and pollen transformation, are expected to lead significant progress in maize biotechnology. This review summarises the significant advances in maize transformation protocols, technologies, and applications and discusses the current status, including a pipeline for trait development and regulatory issues related to current and future genetically modified and genetically edited maize varieties.
