Abstract
Doubled haploid (DH) breeding is a powerful technique to ensure global food security via accelerated crop improvement. DH can be produced in planta by employing haploid inducer stock (HIS). Widely used HIS in maize is known to be governed by ZmPLA, ZmDMP, ZmPLD3, and ZmPOD65 genes. To develop such HIS in rice and wheat, we have identified putative orthologs of these genes using in silico approaches. The OsPLD1; TaPLD1, and OsPOD6; TaPOD8 were identified as putative orthologs of ZmPLD3 and ZmPOD65 in rice and wheat, respectively. Despite being closely related to ZmPLD3, OsPLD1 and TaPLD1 have shown higher anther-specific expression. Similarly, OsPOD6 and TaPOD8 were found closely related to the ZmPOD65 based on both phylogenetic and expression analysis. However, unlike ZmPLD3 and ZmPOD65, two ZmDMP orthologs have been found for each crop. OsDMP1 and OsDMP2 in rice and TaDMP3 and TaDMP13 in wheat have shown similarity to ZmDMP in terms of both sequence and expression pattern. Furthermore, analogs to maize DMP proteins, these genes possess four transmembrane helices making them best suited to be regarded as ZmDMP orthologs. Modifying these predicted orthologous genes by CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing can produce a highly efficient HIS in both rice and wheat. Besides revealing the genetic mechanism of haploid induction, the development of HIS would advance the genetic improvement of these crops.
