This document describes research on producing double haploids in the ornamental plant Primula via anther culture. The researchers determined the optimal microspore developmental stage for culture by examining bud size and morphology. Anthers at specific stages were cultured on media with different plant growth regulator combinations. Callus formed from some anthers, and some calli regenerated shoots. The ploidy levels of regenerated plants were determined using flow cytometry and cytology. Plants with haploid, diploid and mixoploid levels were identified. The study developed a protocol for generating double haploids in Primula through microspore culture, aiming to provide a more efficient breeding method for this ornamental crop.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL SEED..?
Artificial seed can be defined as artificial encapsulation of somatic embryos, shoot bud or aggregates of cell of any tissues which has the ability to form a plant in in-vitro or ex-vivo condition.
Artificial seed have also been often referred to as synthetic seed.
HISTORY
Artificial seeds were first introduced in 1970’s as a novel analogue to the plant seeds.
The production of artificial seeds is useful for plants which do not produce viable seeds. It represents a method to propagate these plants.
Artificial seeds are small sized and these provides further advantages in storage, handling and shipping.
The term, “EMBLING” is used for the plants originated from synthetic seed.
• The use of synthetic varieties for commercial cultivation was first suggested in Maize (Hays & Garber, 1919).
Invitro culture of unpollinated ovaries and ovules represents an alternative for the production of haploid plant
First successful report on the induction of gynogenic haploid was in barley by San Noeum in 1976
Haploid plants are obtained from ovary and ovule culture of rice, wheat, maize, sunflower, tobacco, poplar, mulberry etc
Whites or MS or N6 inorganic salt medium supplement with growth substances are used

Anther culture:- the in vitro culturing of anthers containing microspores or immature pollen grains on a nutrient medium for the purpose of generating haploid plantlets.
Culturing anthers for the purpose of obtaining Double Haploid is not easy with many field crop species, particularly with the cereals, cotton, and grain legumes.

Haploid Production - Techniques, Application & Problem ANUGYA JAISWAL
Haploid is applied to any plant originating from a sporophyte (2n) and containing (n) number of chromosomes.
Artificial production of haploids was attempted through distant hybridization, delayed pollination, application of irradiated pollen, hormone treatment and temperature shock.
The artificial production of haploids until 1964 was attempted through:
1. Distant hybridization
2. Delayed pollination
3. Application of irradiated pollen
4. Hormone treatments
5. Temperature shocks
The development of numerous pollen plantlets in anther cultures of Datura innoxia, first reported by two Indian scientists (Guha and Maheshwari, 1964, 1966), was a major breakthrough in haploid breeding of higher plants.
The technique of haploid production through anther culture ('anther - androgenesis') has been extended successfully to numerous plant species, including many economically important plants, such as cereals and vegetable, oil and tree crops.
Estimate of Genetic Variability Parameters among Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea ...Premier Publishers
Sixteen groundnut genotypes (including local check) were evaluated for quantitative parameters. The crop was sown during 2015 wet season in Ethiopia across four locations. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Twelve quantitative parameters were studied. The analysis of variance revealed the prevalence of significant difference among the genotypes for all studied parameters. Based on mean performance of genotypes Beha gudo, Manipeter and Werer-962 were found to be best for grain yield in kg/ha. High to moderate estimates of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were exhibited by all characters except for SHP and NSP indicating that those characters could be used as selection indices for crop improvement. High heritability was observed for 100SW (91.2%), AGBP (90.3%), NBP (90.2%), PH (89.4%), NMP (86.8%), NSPOD (85.7%), HI (83.7%) and KY (79.7%) accompanied by high genetic advance indicating the predominant role of additive gene action and the possibilities of effective selection for the improvement of groundnut genotypes based on these characters. Low broad sense heritability and low genetic advance was observed only for SHP and NSP indicating low genetic potentials for these characters and non-additive gene effect prevails.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

2. Introduction
Haploids - defined as the sporophyte plants that contain a
gametic chromosome number (n).
Monohaploid: e.g. Rose n = x = 7
Polyhaploid: e.g. French Marigold n = 2x = 24
3. The history of DHs began with the observation of natural
sporophytic haploid in Datura stramonium L. reported by Bergner
in 1921.
This was followed by similar discoveries in other plant species e.g.
Nicotiana tabacum and Triticum compactum
First report on haploid production was published by Blakeslee et
al. (1922) in Datura stramonium.
Guha and Maheshwari (1964, 1966) developed an in vitro anther
culture technique for the production of haploid Datura innoxia
plants.
Haploids were reported in many other species, i.e. barley (Kasha
and Kao, 1970), tobacco (Burk et al., 1979), rice, maize, brassica.
History
4. At present DHs production via anther culture has been reported
in more than 250 plant species belonging to 100 genera and 40
families. (V.K.Misra et al., 2014)
The first in vitro induced haploid plants of female tissues origin
was achieved by San Noeum (1976) in barley.
Commercial varieties developed through DH protocols -
reported for many crops and more than 290 varieties have
already been released (Ferrie and Caswell, 2011).
Compared to agronomic species, there has been very little work
on DH in ornamental species despite the tremendous potential
benefits.
5. Methods to Induce DHs
In vivo occurrence of haploid plants
Spontaneous haploids
Hybridization
a) Intraspecific hybridization
b) Wide hybridization
Parthenogenesis
In vitro Methods
Haploids from male gametes
a) Anther culture
b) Pollen/Microspore culture
Haploids from female gametes
a) Ovary slice culture
b) Ovule culture
6. Spontaneous Haploids
Naturally occurring haploids in 71 species, representing 39
genera in 16 families of angiosperms. e.g. agropyron, alfalfa,
citrus, peach and trillium
Gymnosperms (Pohlheim, F. 1968)
e.g. Unique haploid from of Thuja plicata called Thuja gigantea
‘gracilis’ Beissn
But the exact source of haploids in these species, in terms of
their embryological origin, is often unknown (Dunwell 2010)
Cultivar development has utilized these naturally occurring
haploids.
e.g. ‘Kleine Liebling’ is a haploid cultivar of Pelargonium (Darker
1966), ‘Marglobe’ is a DH cultivar of tomato (Morrison 1932)
7. Haploids through hybridization
Intraspecific hybridization
Observed generation of haploid from diploid material (Haplopappus),
tetraploid material (Pathenium, Sorghum, Sisymbrium and alfalfa)
allopolyploid (Aegilotriticum)
In citrus haploid progeny observed in the interploidy cross between
diploid and triploids (Oiyama et.al. 1993)
Haploids of sugar beet were identified by crossing diploid male sterile
plants with green hypocotyls and tetraploid fodder beets homozygous for
red hypocotyls (Bosemark 1971)
There is a new method to produce haploid from the seed of plants by
manipulating a centromere-specific histone CENH3. When the cenh3
mutant expressing abnormal CENH3 is crossed to the wild type,
chromosomes from the mutant are eliminated, and then eventually the
haploids are produced. This method could be applied to any plant
because the CENH3 is universal in eukaryotes (Ravi and Chan, 2010)
8. In vivo DH induction in
Maize
CIMMYT
Step 1: Induction Cross Step 2: Haploid kernel identification with the
embryo & endosperm marker (R1-nj)
Step 3: Artificial genome doubling
0.06% Colchicine, 0.5% DMSO
solution for 8 h
Step 4: Recovery of seeds from D0
plants
Pollination with pollen of the same species (e.g. maize)
No in vitro culture is needed, since kernels containing haploid embryos display a normal
germination rate and lead to viable haploid seedlings.
Haploid embryos can be selected early in the breeding process, based on morphological
and physiological markers (Dominantly inherited purple coloration from inducer line).
9. Wide Hybridization
Interspecific or intergeneric crosses in which the pollinator
chromosomes are eliminated have been used successfully to produce
maternal haploids.

Oat (Avena sativa) x Maize (Z. may s L.)
Palmer, et. al., 2005
Embryo rescue is a necessary part of this technique as the endosperm
does not develop and therefore cannot provide nutrients for continued
development of the embryo
10. Parthenogenesis
In this method the egg cell developes into an embryo without
fertilization by the sperm nucleus.
This can be achieved by pollination with irradiated pollen or with
the addition of chemicals (Khush et. al., 1996)
There is generally a low frequency of haploid recovery and
therefore this method is not widely used for breeding purpose.
Ferrie Alison et.al. 2011
11. ANDROGENESIS
Androgenesis is defined as the
process of embryo development
from the male gametophytes
(i.e. microspores or anthers),
with the subsequent
regeneration of haploid and
doubled haploid plants from
these cells.

14. Gynogenesis is the culture of
unfertilized female gametophytes (i.e.
ovules, ovaries).
This method is used when plants do
not respond to androgenic methods,
there is a problem with regenerating
albino plants from anther culture, or
the donor plants are male sterile
Gynogenesis is usually less efficient
than androgenesis.

24. Rapid technique
homozygous plants can be
achieved in one generation
(inbred lines)
Production of homozygous lines of
the cross pollinating species and
hybrids are highly desirable
(to avoid inbreeding depression)
The conventional method of
inbreeding is impractical for self-
incompatible, male sterile and tree
species.

Cassia siamea, Ceratonia siliqua,

Biotech. Advances. Priyanka et.al., 2008
25. Shortens the breeding cycle
Normally, in a
hybridization programme
evaluation of lines is
possible only after 4-5
years of pedigree
breeding and it takes
another 4-5 years to
release a new variety.
By anther culture of F1
hybrids the various
genotypes of gametes can
be fixed and evaluated in
the first generation
27. New plant breeding techniques (NPBT)
Homozygous parental lines of a
selected heterozygous plant are
reproduced.
The genes involved in the meiotic
recombination process are silenced
through transgenesis.
Consequently, nonrecombined haploid
lines are obtained from the
heterozygous plant and their
chromosomes are doubled through the
double-haploid technique.
The doubled haploids obtained are
screened to find a pair that, would
reconstitute the original heterozygous
plants.
Only nontransgenic plants are
selected, thus the offspring of the
selected parental lines would not carry
any additional genomic charge.
28. Recessive mutants
Haploids are extremely useful for detecting recessive mutants which
may not express themselves in the heterozygous diploid background
and therefore can be easily lost.

29. Other advantages of Double Haploids (DH)
DHs can be represent as new variety (self-pollinated crops)
Induction of mutations
DH lines are also valuable tools in marker-trait association studies,
molecular marker-assisted or genomic selection – based breeding and
functional genomics
Useful in cytogenetic research
Genetic engineering
Useful in development of chromosome substitution lines.

31. Introduction
Primula is an ornamental plant popular for its early spring blooms and
diversity of colors.
The species exhibits desirable horticultural traits such as long
flowering season, plentiful flowers and a pleasant fragrance.
Producing homozygous lines by conventional methods in this species
is time consuming and difficult, because the species is self-
incompatible.
Anther culture has been successfully applied in many field crops, but
its use is still limited in ornamentals and not yet reported in Primula.
In this study special attention was given to several factors influencing
androgenesis, such as the correlation of bud morphology and size,
microspore developmental stages, plant growth regulator
concentrations.
32. Materials and Methods
Plant material :
200 glass house raised Baby prime rose plants were used as anther donor plants
Determination of microspore development stage
The relationship between the flower bud morphology, bud size, microspore
developmental stage and viability was determined firstly.
Preparation of induction media and induction of callus
Preparation of differentiation media and plant Regeneration

33. i) Flow cytometry :
Leaf samples of in vitro-grown plants derived from anther culture
were collected
And added to Lysis buffer to release the nuclei.
The extract was stained with 2 µl DAPI.
Analysis of nuclei was conducted using a Partec CA II flow
cytometer.
Tissue from a diploid plant of P.forbesii was used as an internal
standard.
The ploidy level of each plant was determined based on a
comparison between the fluorescence peak value of the tested
plants with that of the diploid control.
ii) Cytological analysis:
Actively growing root tips (5-8) approximately 2 mm in length
were used for cytological analysis
Samples were stained with Carbol fuchsin solution and observed
under microscope (100 x)

39. Inference
Identified buds of 4.0 – 5.0 mm long for in vitro culturing.
The callus induction rate was significantly high in the media containing
1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l 2,4 – D.
Adventitious buds were observed only on shoot induction medium
with 0.2 mg/l BAP and 0.01 mg/l NAA.
MS without PGRs was suitable for rooting of baby primrose plantlets.
Regenerated plants in this study showed multiple ploidy levels viz.
haploid, diploid, triploid, tetraploid, hexaploid and mixoploid. Only 2%
of plants observed as haploids.
Reasons might be spontaneous, repeated chromosome doubling to
generate polyploid plants include nuclear fusion during early
microspore divisions, endomitosis, endoreduplication or multipolar
mitosis during the callus phase.
40. Case study - 2
Objective:
1.To study the effect of cold pre-treatment on unfertilized
ovule culture.
2.To investigate the ability of embryo like structure (ELS)
production through gynogenesis and reproducibility of the
haploids and DHs through this technique.
41. Two Japanese Gentian species, G.triflora and G.scabra are one of the
most important plants for cut-flower and pot plant use in Japan.
Production of homozygous lines are indispensable for F1 hybrid
breeding, but it is difficult In this species owing to their intense
inbreeding depression.
Efficiency of embryogenesis in anther culture was quite low and large
genotypic variation was observed (Mostly triploids). More over this
method is not effective for G.scabra.
Unfertilized ovule culture has more advantageous than anther culture
from the point of view of embryogenic efficiency, limited influence of
donor plant genotype and a high frequency of haploids production.
Cold pretreatment of flower buds or inflorescences before culture has
been reported to enhance the frequency of embryogenesis in several
species.
Introduction
42. Plant materials: 43 genotypes of gentians consisted of 12 cultivars and 31 lines
of G.triflora (2n = 26), G.scabra (2n = 26), G.triflora var. japonica f. montana (2n
= 26) and their hybrids.
Cold pretreatment: Four genotypes (G.triflora cv. Ashiro-no-Aki, G.scabra line
17-260, G.triflora x G.scabra lines 17-386 and 17-260) were tested.Anthers
removed from each flower, inflorescences were stored at low temperature (40
C)
for 3,7 and 14 days in dark.
Unfertilized ovule culture and plant regeneration: Ovules excised from a pistil
were cultured in the medium of ½ NLN containing 0.8 % agar-solidified and 10
% sucrose.
The ELSs developed from ovules were transferred to modified agar (1.0%) –
solidified MS medium with concentration of major salts reduced by 50% (1/2
MS) and supplemented with 3% sucrose and 1.0 mg/l GA3.
Materials and Methods
43. Flow cytometry:
Young leaf samples were
analyzed by using Partec CyFlow
PA and Cell Lab Quanta SC.
Chromosome doubling
treatment:
Chromosome doubling of
haploids was performed as
described by Morgan et al.
(2003). Shoots containing axillary
buds were cut and subcultured to
propagation medium (Pr)
containing 50 µM oryzalin for
1,2,3 and 4 weeks and elongated
axillary shoots were transferred
to Propagation medium without
BA after 6 weeks.
a) Unfertilized ovules in an ovary. b) Ovules cultured on ½
NLN soild medium c) ELSs emerged from ovules after 50 days
of culture d) A magnified ELS in c plate
Determination of ploidy level
44. Cold pretreatment produced more ELSs than non-
treatment in 3 genotypes except for line 17-386. In
particular 7 and 14 days tended to exhibit a higher
response.

47. W14 and W15 genes are allelic and
encode proteins related to the α/β
hydrolase fold superfamily.
Donor plants of 17-386 and 17-488 carried
both alleles W14/W15 (heterozygous),
whereas regenerated diploid plants
carried one of them (homozygous)
On the other hand, strain 17-260 carried
only W14 allele (homozygous). Therefore,
for strain 17-260, the FLS, which is
flavonoid biosynthetic genes, was used.
FLS amplified two bands (heterozygous),
in the 17-260 strain. When 43 diploid
plants were examined, 41 plants showed a
single band: however, 2 plants of Go963
and Go990 had the same two bands as the
donor plant.

48. Cold pretreatment for 1-2 weeks at 40
C found to be beneficial
In the present study using 43 genotypes 40 genotypes produced ELSs
Though variations are present, unfertilized ovule culture was affected less by
genotypes compared with of anther culture.
A large number of regenerated plantlets, which were obtained through
gynogenesis, consisted of haploids (57.8%) and diploids (34.6%).
Oryzalin is effective chemical for chromosomal doubling.
W14/W15 and FLS genes were used as genetic markers in order to confirm
whether the diploid plant obtained from unfertilized ovule culture is a DH or
not.
Inference
49. Conclusion
Doubled haploids (DH) technology is highly desirable can be
implemented in all environments.
Rapid production of homozygous lines.
Speed up the breeding by fixing of the elite inbreds.
Shortened breeding cycle and cost saving.
Elimination of unfavorable genes and enrichment of favorable
genes.
Improvement of germplasm lines.
Early release of commercial hybrids and resource saving.
Combination with other tools including precision phenotyping,
bioinformatics, genomic selection and modeling can improve the
efficiency of the breeding process.
