Abstract
Methods to generate doubled haploid plants and plant components using low mammalian toxicity chromosome doubling agents are disclosed. Chromosome doubling agents provide low mortality rates and higher chromosome doubling rate in plants.
Claims17
A method for generating a doubled haploid corn plant cell, the method comprising:
- contacting a population of haploid corn plant cells with a composition comprising 1,2,3-trimethoxy-4-((1S,6R)-6-nitro-cyclohex-3-enyl)-benzene in a concentration between about 5 μM and about 125 μM;
- and
- generating a doubled haploid corn plant cell from the population at a rate of from about 40% to about 75%.
