Recently, researchers from the Institute of Crop Science of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences obtained millet haploids for the first time through a series of technical methods , laying a solid foundation for the establishment of a millet double haploid sports seeding platform, and further increasing the frequency of haploid induction and speeding up millet breeding.
With the changes in people's health needs and dietary structure, the demand for miscellaneous grains is increasing.
Sui Yi introduced that they used CRISPR-Cas9 technology combined with an efficient millet genetic transformation platform to edit the millet SiMTL gene and create a haploid induction line.
This research obtained the millet haploid induction line, and successfully obtained the millet haploid for the first time through selfing and hybridization.
