Study of Post-fertilization developments in wheat- maize system of haploid production
Author(s): Usha Pant, Anupreet Kour and VK Khanna
Abstract: To study the post hybridization events in wheat-maize system wheat f1’s were crossed with the maize (pollen parent). Three types of staining viz; Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining for protein was done to observe the embryo development and growth stages of haploid embryos. In crossed seeds the amount of protein started depleting and degenerated endosperm, antipodal and egg nuclei were observed. The insoluble carbohydrates were absent after 48hr of pollination. Crease was observed along with deformed pre-embryos. In case of crosses again deformed pre-embryo, degenerated antipodal cells and endosperm were observed. In some of the cases only the pre-embryo was found. The empty space was observed outside of the ovule and central cells due to degeneration of inner cells.
