Haploid plants carrying a sodium azide-induced mutation (fdr1) produce fertile pollen grains due to first division restitution (FDR) in maize (Zea mays L.)
We induced a fdr1 mutation in maize which makes haploid plants male fertile due to first division restitution; the optimum sodium azide treatment on maize ke...

Genetic variation for the response to ploidy change in Zea mays L.
Polyploidization is an important process in the evolutionary history of most eukaryotic species. It oftentimes causes large-scale genomic reorganizations and is accompanied by a wide variety of phenotypic alte...

A test for ectopic exchange catalyzed by Cre recombinase in maize
A maize line expressing Cre recombinase as well as the recipient line without the transgene were assayed for evidence of ectopic recombination within the maize genome. Such a test is valuable for understanding...

Induced single fertilization in maize
Bicellular pollen with one vegetative nucleus and one diploid arrested generative cell (”monospermic” pollen) was induced by trifluralin treatment of diploid maize plants at 7–9 days before flowering. The arr...
