Single nucleus sequencing reveals spermatid chromosome fragmentation as a possible cause of maize haploid induction
Plant breeders can produce haploid maize lines using haploid inducer lines as pollen donors. Here, by sequencing the genomes of single pollen nuclei, Li et al. show that haploid inducer spermatids are frequently aneuploid and suggest chromosome fragmentation as a possible cause of haploid induction.
