The first haploid angiosperm, a dwarf form of cotton with half the normal chromosome
complement, was discovered in 1920, and in the ninety years since then such plants have …

In vitro chromosome doubling can be induced by several antimitotic agents. The most
commonly used are colchicine, oryzalin and trifluralin. The process of induced chromosome …

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 …

The influence of the developmental stage of microspores on establishing isolated
microspore cultures of three Hungarian ('Szegedi 80','Szegedi 178', and 'Remény') and three …

The Solanaceae is one of the most important families for global agriculture. Among the
different solanaceous species, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), potato (Solanum tuberosum) …

In this work we address two aspects of eggplant flower biology potentially involved on the
efficiency of anther culture: the selection of the best floral stage to extract anthers for culture …

Anther culture is a convenient technique to obtain androgenic haploid and doubled haploid
(DH) plants. In common eggplant (Solanum melongena), this technique has been used to …

Production of doubled haploids (DHs) through androgenesis induction is an important
biotechnological tool for plant breeding. In some species, DHs are efficiently obtained …

In this chapter, we present a list of species (and few interspecific hybrids) where haploids
and/or doubled haploids have been published, including the method by which they were …

Isolated microspore culture experiments were carried out in sweet pepper (Capsicum
annuum L.) F 1 hybrid genotypes. In the first experiment, four culture media (W14, B5, MS …
