With an expected 9 billion people by 2050 and average income on the rise in the developing
world, meeting future food demand will be a challenge. Climate change, urbanisation and …

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 …

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 …

In vitro androgenesis is an important component of plant biotechnology when the pollen
grains are forced to switch from their normal pollen developmental pathway towards an …

In recent years, the land area under agriculture has declined as also has the rate of growth
in agricultural productivity while the demand for food continues to escalate. The world …

Anther culture technique is the most viable and efficient method of producing homozygous
doubled haploid plants within a short period. However, the practical application of this …

Doubled haploid (DH) plant production, such as anther culture (AC), is an effective tool used
in modern rice breeding programs. The improved efficient protocols applied can shorten the …

Nos últimos anos registou-se um interesse inusitado da sociedade por uma tecnologia
