Variation in degree of pollen exclusion for ga1‐s unilateral cross incompatibility in temperate maize breeding populations

Abstract: Fertilization and kernel development are crucial for breeding and agronomic production of maize (Zea mays L.), which is prone to outcrossing. Because of this tendency, a major issue for organic corn farmers is to maintain genetic purity of their crop. One way to maintain this purity is to use a unilateral cross incompatibility system such as Ga1-s. However, lack of complete pollen exclusion has been reported in Ga1-s heterozygotes, complicating introgression of this trait into breeding germplasm. A systematic,… Show more

“…Hoegemeyer 8 proposed to use the Ga1 system for maintaining the genetic purity of organic corn by preventing unwanted pollinations by GMO corn. Both public 9 , 10 and private breeders have transferred the Ga1-s allele from popcorn into dent corn in order to develop varieties with improved genetic purity for organic corn production.…”

“…The degree to which Ga1-s corn lines can exclude unwanted pollen is complicated by genetic background and zygosity of the Ga1-s locus 9 . In addition, QTL for genetic modifiers have been shown to effect pollen exclusion in popcorn 12 .…”
