Haploid induction of wheat by crossing with Imperata cylindrica pollen is an efficient method for doubled haploid breeding. We investigated the process of wheat haploid formation after crossing with L cylindrica. Our cytological observations of zygotes showed the successful fertilization of parental gametes. Wheat haploids were formed by complete elimination of I. cylindrica chromosomes. Missegregation of L cylindrica chromosomes was observed in the first cell division of zygote. At metaphase L cylindrica chromosomes did not congress onto the equatorial plate. The sister chromosomes did not move toward the poles during anaphase, though their cohesion was released normally. L cylindrica chromosomes were still in the cytoplasm at telophase and eliminated from daughter nuclei. After two-celled stage, we could find no L cylindrica chromosome in the nuclei but micronuclei containing L cylindrica chromatin in the cytoplasm. These observations indicate that L cylindrica chromosomes are completely eliminated from nuclei in the first cell division probably due to lack of functional kinetochores.
