Deep purple - an open-pollinated variety to induce haploids in tropical maize

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

Deep purple is an open-pollinated variety, well adapted to tropical conditions, developed to induce maternal haploids in maize. The founders were W23, Stock6, and an experimental tropical maize population. The inducer population inherits the dominant the R1-nj marker, and the expected real haploid induction rate is 3%.
