In order to develop better adapted inducer lines for the Mid West, we started in 2008 a breeding program to introgress induction ability into elite germplasm. Inducer lines in a B73 background are ready for release (ISURF #04065). A second group of inducer lines (ISURF #04099) is expected to be ready for release in fall 2015. These lines will have an additional marker for haploid selection: Pl1 - for red roots. They also have the Ga1 allele included, which widely used in popcorn and organic breeding to prevent cross pollinations with dent corn.
