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 …

Majority of higher plants are outbreeding, highly heterozygous and undergo a long
developmental period before reaching their reproductive stage. Traditional breeding and …

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 …

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 …

Gynogenic haploid regeneration is an alternative procedure for haploid induction used in
several agronomically important species such as sugar-beet and onion. At inoculation …

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 …

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 …
