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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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

The importance of haploids is well known to geneticists and plant breeders. The discovery of
anther-derived haploid Datura plants in 1964 initiated great excitement in the plant breeding …

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 …

An isolated microspore culture provides an excellent system for the study of microspore
induction and embryogenesis, provides a platform for an ever-increasing array of molecular …
