Abstract
The results of the assessment of the ability to induce of haploid formation in the families (offspring of one ear) of the created haploid inducing maize line ZMS-P are given. 53 hybrids and one cultivar population were used as maternal forms, and 21 families of the ZMS-P line were used as paternal forms. The kernels with haploid embryos were selected among hybrid seeds with using the method of genetic marking. The frequency of haploids in the offspring ranged from 0 to 15.8 %. The average frequency of haploid induction in families of the ZMS-P line varied from 1,3 to 7,0 %. The average frequency of haploid induction is 4,8 ± 1,7 %. Thus, the ZMS-P line is an effective haploid inducer that can be used for mass production of haploids and the rapid creation of new homozygous maize lines.
