Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: We induced a fdr1 mutation in maize which makes haploid plants male fertile due to first division restitution; the optimum sodium azide treatment on maize kernels has been identified. Sodium azide mutagenesis experiments were performed on haploid and diploid maize plants. Kernels wit...
