| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Wheat egg cells and maize sperm cells were isolated and in vitro-fertilized using electric fusion to produce wheat-maize hybrid zygotes. Plantlets were regenerated from callus cultures derived from these cross-fertilized eggs. Morphological observation, flow cytometry and genome sequencing analysis of the regenerated plants indicated that they were haploid plants of wheat. This study demonstrates that, during the development and regeneration of wheat-maize hybrid zygotes produced in vitro, the sperm cell-derived maize genome is selectively eliminated, as in the case of in planta crosses, resulting in the induction of haploid plants carrying the egg cell-derived wheat genome.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
コムギおよびトウモロコシから単離した雌雄配偶子のin vitro交雑受精卵からコムギ半数体が獲得されたのは世界で初めての成果であり、この実証には挑戦的研究として大きな意義がある。今後、本研究をさらに発展させ、ムギ類の単離卵細胞および受精卵への物質導入系技術の革新を進めることで、形質転換を伴わないDNAフリーゲノム編集体の獲得が可能となり、ゲノム編集を組み入れたムギ類の新たな半数体育種法の開発につながることが期待される。
