S4.4 Doubled Haploid Technology in Maize breeding: Status and prospects
1. Doubled Haploid Technology in
Maize breeding: Status and prospects
George Mahuku, Aida Kebede, Vanessa
Prigge, Leocadio Martinez
2. Outline
• Introduction to Doubled Haploid (DH) technology
• Advantages of DH lines in maize breeding
• Steps in DH line development
• CIMMYT’s experience in DH line generation
• Challenges
• On-going activities
3. Doubled Haploid (DH) lines – What
are they?
• Haploid: an individuals with the gametic
chromosome number (n) in its somatic cells.
• A Doubled Haploid: is a genotype formed when
haploid cells (n), i.e. egg or sperm cell undergo
chromosome doubling (2n).
• The resulting individual is completely homozygous.
4. Conventional vs DH Inbred Line
Development
• Produced by repeated generations of
selfing
• In each generation, heterozygosity
reduces by 50%
• Resulting inbred lines s are highly
homozygous but not 100%
• DH technique – a quicker method to
obtain 100% pure inbred lines
Generation S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7
Homozygosity (%) 50 75 87.5 93.75 96.875 98.45 99.23
Months 6 12 18 24 30 36 42
5. Advantages of DH technique
in hybrid maize breeding
• Acceleration of inbred line development
• Evaluation of putative hybrids at the beginning of the
selection process
• Maximum additive variance available
• Reduction of masking effects which are caused by
residual heterozygosity
• Reduction of costs for nursery & maintenance breeding
work
• Simplyfied logistics
Schmidt 2004; Röber et al. 2005
6. Doubled haploids – a valuable tool for
research
• Establishment of DH mapping populations
– Improve the precision of genetic and mapping studies
– Analysis of linkage disequilibrium
– Analysis of haplotype/trait associations
• Accelerate gene pyramiding
• Evaluation, exploitation, and conservation of genetic
resources
– Extraction of individual gametes from heterozygous materials
transforming them into DH lines
– Detrimental effects are revealed to the full extent from the very
beginning
– Conservation of germplasm in form of reproducible DH lines
7. Methods for Producing haploids
• In vitro - Tissue Culture Techniques
– Anther Culture (microspore culture)
– Highly complex & expensive
– Low plantlet regeneration rate which is dependent on genetic
background
– Greatly limited for application in breeding programs
• In vivo - Genetic induction
– Widely used
– Involves use of inducer lines
– High frequency of haploid generation
– Simple to operate
– Relatively inexpensive

14. Step 3: Artificial genome doubling
• 0.06% colchicine, 0.5% DMSO solution; 8 hours Gayen et al. (1994) MNL 68:85
• Colchicine acts as mitotic inhibitor
Germination of haploid seeds Cutting of coleoptile on 3 consecutive days Colchicine treatment over night
Transplanting to the field
Planting into pots, recovery and
establishing of treated plants
15. How does colchicine work?
• Colchicine is an alhkloid produced by Colchicum
autumnale
• It works as mitotic inhibitor: by binding to tubulin
during mitosis it inhibits spindle formation so that
the cell cannot split into two daughter cells

16. Chromosome doubling agents
• Colchicine is commonly used as doubling agent
α and β
Tubulin
• Nitric Oxide (Kato and Geiger, 2002)
• Microtubule binding herbicides
• Caused chromosomal doubling of root tip cells (Hantzschel
and Weber, 2010)
18. DH lines express uniformity within the
line and diversity among the lines!

20. CIMMYT GMP started its
involvement in DH in 2007
• University of Hohenheim provided temperate inducer
genotypes and technical support
• Various aspects under investigation:
– Development of tropical adapted inducer lines
– Induction rate of temperate inducers in tropical
environments
– Novel marker system for haploid kernel identification
– Optimization of agronomic management to increase
success rate of DH line development
