The Fabaceae species have a major role to play in sustainable farming systems, but they
have lagged behind other families in respect to the development of doubled haploid …

In 2001, cereals covered 45% of the world's cultivated land, representing more than 0.67
billionha producing 2.1 billiontonnes (from FAOSTAT,, http://apps. fao. org/,). Although yield …

In earlier works, the author reviewed and emphasized the importance of the in vitro induction
of haploids (Reinert and Bajaj 1977; Bajaj 1983 a). During the last decade tremendous …

There are many factors influencing the deployment of doubled haploidy in breeding.
Strategies for exploiting doubled haploids (DHs) vary within and among species and are …

Having the ability to double the chromosome number of haploid plants has been of major
concern in their utilization for breeding, as well as for genetic, mutation and transformation …

Production of pure lines is an important step in biological studies and breeding of many crop
plants. The major types of pure lines for biological studies and breeding include doubled …

Doubled haploid (DH) technology is used to obtain homozygous lines in a single
generation, a technique that significantly accelerates the crop breeding trajectory …

Doubled haploid systems are now available in a number of crop species. These systems
have the unique genetic property of allowing completely homozygous lines to be developed …

Doubled haploid (DH) systems have many attractive features for inducing and fixing
mutations. Doubled haploidy provides the fastest route to homozygosity with the greatest …

Haploid is the general term for plants (sporophytes) that contain the gametic chromosome
number (n). Thus, in a diploid sporophytic (2 n) species the haploid could also be called …
