Forty-four protocols of doubled haploid production (DH) are presented in this Manual. They
are related to at least 33 plant species, not counting protocols on production of DH from …

This is the first manual presenting a set of protocols for production of doubled haploids (DH)
in 22 major crop plant species including 4 tree species. It contains various protocols and …

In the early 1990s, many basic protocols were developed for haploidy and doubled
haploidy, but most were inefficient. During the last decade, progress in technology has been …

Manifold and diverse applications of doubled haploid (DH) plants have emerged in
academy and in the plant breeding industry since the first discovery of a haploid mutant in …

Doubled haploids (DH) have become a powerful tool to assist in different basic research
studies, and also in applied research. The principal (but not the only) and routine use of DH …

The discovery of haploids in higher plants led to the use of doubled haploid (DH) technology
in plant breeding. This article provides the state of the art on DH technology including the …

In 2001, cereals covered 45% of the world's cultivated land, representing more than 0.67

The importance of haploidy or single totipotent cell to form a haploid plant is well known to
plant scientists in the field of agriculture and related disciplines. The work on haploidy …

Haploids are plants (sporophytes) that contain a gametic chromosome number (n). They can
originate spontaneously in nature or as a result of various induction techniques …

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 …
