Abstract excerpt
New breeding technologies accelerate germplasm improvement and reduce the cost of goods in seed production1-3. Many such technologies could use in vivo paternal haploid induction (HI), which occurs when double fertilization precedes maternal (egg cell) genome loss. Engineering of the essential CENTROMERIC HISTONE (CENH3) gene induces paternal HI in Arabidopsis4-6. Despite conservation of CENH3 function across...
