In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for generating doubled haploid and/or haploid maize plants from microspores. The methods of this aspect of the invention include the steps of: (a) selecting maize plant material comprising maize microspores at a developmental stage amenable to androgenic induction; (b) incubating the microspores in incubation medium at a temperature and osmolarity effective to induce androgenesis to obtain temperature-treated microspores; (c) isolating the temperature-treated microspores; (d) cultivating the isolated, temperature-treated microspores in cultivation medium with either at least one live plant ovary and/or ovary-conditioned medium to produce regenerative maize tissue, wherein the cultivation medium has an osmolarity between about 300 mOsm and about 500 mOsm and comprises at least one cytokinin and at least one auxin; and (e) regenerating maize plants from the regenerative maize tissue. The present invention also provides methods for producing regenerative maize tissue from maize microspores.
在一个方面,本发明提供了从小孢子产生加倍单倍体和/或单倍体玉米植株的方法。本发明这方面的方法包括以下步骤:(a) 挑选玉米植物材料,该材料包括处于适于雄性诱导的发育阶段的玉米小孢子; (b) 在诱导雄性诱导有效的温度和渗透压下将小孢子在
培养基中培养,以获得温度处理的小孢子; (c) 分离温度处理的小孢子;(d) 在具有至少一个活植物子房和/或子房调节
培养基的
培养基中培养分离的、经温度处理的小孢子,以产生再生玉米组织,其中
培养基的渗透压在约300 mOsm和约500 mOsm之间,并包含至少一种
细胞分裂素和至少一种辅助素;以及 (e) 从再生玉米组织中再生玉米植株。本发明还提供了从玉米小孢子生产再生玉米组织的方法。
