Abstract: Provided here are methods of using a mutated patatin-like phospholipase II? (“pPLAII?,” renamed here MATRILINEAL) to induce haploid induction in plants, cloning a pPLAII? to induce haploid induction in plants, and genetically engineering a plant to contain a mutated pPLAII?. Also provided are methods of applying topical and spray chemicals, lipids, and RNAi molecules to plants during pollination in order to induce haploid production. Further provided are methods of chemically treating plants during pollination to induce haploids while also reducing embryo abortion and increasing seed set.

Abstract: Provided are isolated cDNAs comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 33, SEQ ID NO: 37, SEQ ID NO: 52 or SEQ ID NO: 53. Also provided are expression cassettes; vectors; transgenic plant cells; plants, plant parts, and seeds; isolated polypeptides; amplicons and informative fragments of the presently disclosed nucleic acids; compositions that include amplification primer pairs; methods for producing plants that exhibit HI; methods for identifying the presence or absence of an allele associated with HI in a plant; methods for introgressing Haploid-inducing nucleotide sequences into plants; and methods for selecting parental plants predicted to produce progeny generations with plants that exhibit Haploid Induction trait.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to using a haploid inducing line (whether existing or created) and transforming the haploid line so that it encodes cellular machinery capable of editing genes. The transformed haploid inducing line is used as a parent in a cross between two plants. During pollination, the parental gametes fuse to form an embryo; and the gene editing machinery is also delivered to the embryo at this time. During embryonic development, one set of parental chromosomes are lost, and the gene editing machinery operates on the remaining set of chromosomes. Thus, at least one haploid progeny with edited genes is produced from the cross.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a plurality of unique edits in a plant's T1 seed. In one example, a method comprises transforming at least one expression cassette into a plant cell or a plant tissue. The at least one expression cassette may comprise a nucleic acid that encodes a DNA modification enzyme; optionally, a nucleic acid that encodes at least one guide RNA (gRNA); and a floral mosaic (FMOS) regulatory sequence, wherein the FMOS regulatory sequence (i) mediates expression of the DNA modification enzyme in at least one of a floral primordia cell and a floral reproductive organ, and (ii) mediates a plurality of edits in the at least one of the floral primordia and the floral reproductive organ. The method may also include regenerating the plant cell or plant tissue into a T0 plant having a plurality of T1 seed, wherein the T1 seed contain a plurality of unique edits.
