First FISH-based physical mapping of Zea mays loci associated with haploid induction and anthocyanin biosynthesis reveals conserved chromosome loci and supports an integrated cytogenomics ideogram

Haploid induction is a key step to obtain Zea mays doubled-haploids, which are homozygous lines in breeding programs. Genes are related to haploid induction, as mtl and dmp , and to phenotypic screening based on anthocyanin biosynthesis, as r1-nj and b1 . Despite their relevance,...
