Human haploid ESCs exhibited typical colony morphology and expressed classical human ESC markers, including alkaline phosphatase, OCT4, NANOG, SSEA4, SOX2, TRA-1-81 and TRA-1-60 (Figure 1E and ...

A common strategy to create high-yielding plants is hybrid breeding. However, getting the inbred lines in the first place can be a hassle. In maize, the use of so-called 'haploid inducers' provides a ...

In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors developed an efficient haploid identification (HID) system for wheat by ...

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 ...

The use of haploid induction in crop breeding offers a transformative approach to accelerating the development of new, highly uniform cultivars. By generating plants with a single set of chromosomes ...

The study, titled Generation of Bimaternal and Bipaternal Mice from Hypomethylated Haploid ESCs with Imprinting Region Deletions, was published on October 11 in the journal Cell Stem Cell. The ...

Evolution, Vol. 71, No. 2 (FEBRUARY 2017), pp. 215-226 (12 pages) Many organisms spend a significant portion of their life cycle as haploids and as diploids (a haploid–diploid life cycle). However, ...

A research team has developed an AI-based approach to streamline the evaluation of maize haploid fertility restoration, a key bottleneck in double haploid (DH) breeding.

Sometimes less is more. Scientists have created a new kind of human stem cell that has just half a genome. The cells can be turned into any tissue in the human body, despite only containing one set of ...
