Abstract excerpt
In vivo haploid induction (HI) triggered by pollination with special intraspecific genotypes, called inducers, is unique to Zea maysL. within the plant kingdom and has revolutionized maize breeding during the last decade. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying HI in maize are still unclear. To investigate the genetic basis of HI, we developed a new approach for genome-wide association studies (GWAS), termed...
