Doubled haploid (DH) technology becomes more routinely applied in maize hybrid breeding. However, some issues in haploid induction and identification persist, requiring resolution to optimize DH production. Our objective was to implement simultaneous marker-assisted selection (MAS) for () and () using TaqMan assay in F generation of four BHI306-derived tropical × temperate inducer families.

- The study focused on understanding the genetic factors behind sweetness in sweet corn through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) involving 250 sweet and waxy corn lines.
- Key findings included the identification of 12 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to sweetness, particularly the top SNP AX_91849634 on chromosome 3, associated with a gene that impacts starch metabolism.
- A specific marker was developed from this SNP that effectively distinguishes sweet corn from other varieties, aiding in future breeding and seed production efforts.
