Among various methods stimulating biological progress, double haploid (DH) technology, which utilizes the process of microspore embryogenesis (ME), is potentially the most effective. However, the process depends on complex interactions between many genetic, physiological and environmental variables, and in many cases, e.g.

Camus) represents a number of advantages such as high grain yield even in marginal environments, tolerance to drought, cold and acid soils, as well as lower production costs. Together with high biomass of grain and straw, triticale is also considered as an industrial energy crop.

- Leaf rust, caused by a specific fungus, threatens wheat production by diminishing both the quantity and quality of cereal yields.
- The research focused on identifying markers linked to slow rust genes for developing wheat cultivars with stable horizontal-type resistance, which is more effective than major resistance genes that pathogens can overcome.
- The study successfully utilized multiplex PCR techniques and SSR-PCR markers to identify resistant wheat lines, particularly PHR 4947 and PHR 4819, proving that marker-assisted selection is effective for breeding rust-resistant crops.
Association mapping is a powerful approach to detect associations between traits of interest and genetic markers based on linkage disequilibrium in molecular plant breeding. The aim of this study was the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and SilicoDArT markers associated with yield traits and morphological features in maize. Plant material constituted inbred lines.

- There are various studies on the chromosome structure and organization in goatgrasses, focusing on techniques like chromosome banding and fluorescence hybridization for identification.
- These methods are significant due to the genetic similarities between goatgrasses and cultivated cereals like wheat and triticale.
- The article reviews these chromosome identification techniques and highlights effective cytomolecular markers that assist in tracking desired traits during breeding.
