Plant breeding is focused on continuously increasing crop production to meet the needs of
an ever-growing world population, improving food quality to ensure a long and healthy life …

Haploids and doubled haploids are very important in plant breeding, enabling the time
needed to produce homozygous lines to be shortened compared with conventional …

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 …

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 …

Haploids are plants with a gametophytic chromosome number and doubled haploids are
haploids that have undergone chromosome duplication. The production of haploids and …

The ability to generate (doubled) haploid plants significantly accelerates the crop breeding
process. Haploids have been induced mainly through the generation of plants from …

The doubled haploid system is the fastest way of hybrid variety production and plays an
important role in breeding programs and developmental studies. The most commonly used …

Although several methods have been developed for producing haploid plants, the in vitro
techniques are much more efficient than inter-specific hybridization or treatment with plant …

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 …

Since the beginning of agricultural production, there has been a continuous effort to grow
more and better quality food to feed ever increasing popula tions. Both improved cultural …
