Induction of Androgenic Dihaploids From the F1 Hybrids of Safflower (Carthamus Tinctorius L.)

Key Points

• Induction of androgenic dihaploids enhances genetic variation in safflower, enabling breeding advancements.
• In the process, F1 hybrids of safflower were identified as effective sources for inducing dihaploids.
• Analysis utilized tissue culture techniques to facilitate androgenesis in safflower plants.
• Highlights the significance of androgenic dihaploids for future safflower breeding programs to improve yield.
