Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Mutation in centromere histone H3 (CENH3) protein could induce a paternal haploid with maternal cytoplasm in rapeseed. By paternal haploid induction, a cytoplasmic male sterile line can be created in any genetic background within one breeding cycle. Hybrid development in rapeseed relies primarily on the three-line system, which includes a cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) line. Conventionally, these CMS...
