Abstract
The present invention relates to wheat plants comprising a mutation causing an alteration of the amino acid sequence in centromere histone H3 (CENH3), which have the biological activity of a haploid inducer. Further, the present invention provides methods of generating the wheat plants of the present invention and haploid and doubled haploid wheat plants obtainable by crossing the wheat plants of the present invention with wildtype wheat plants.
Claims3
A method of generating a haploid-inducing wheat plant, the method comprising:
- a. obtaining at least a wheat plant cell comprising an A genome, a B genome, and a D genome;
- b. mutating the B genome to obtain a homozygous knock-out mutation in a CENH3α gene;
- c. mutating the D genome to obtain a homozygous knock-out mutation in a CENH3α gene;
- d. mutating the A genome to obtain a knock-down mutation at a 5′ splice site of an intron in a CENH3α gene;
- and e. generating a wheat plant therefrom;
- whereby the wheat plant generated from step e. produces haploid progeny when crossed with a wildtype wheat plant.
