Tomato, eggplant, and pepper are three solanaceous crops of outstanding importance
worldwide. For hybrid seed production in these species, a fast and cheap method to obtain …

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

Background For in vitro culture of plant and animal cells, one of the critical steps is to adjust
the initial cell density. A typical example of this is isolated microspore culture, where specific …

The recent gradual increase in interest and demand for multipurpose ornamental peppers
has encouraged intensive breeding studies, especially for use in landscape. However …

The combined effect of anther incubation time on CP induction medium (12, 14, and 16
days) and 2 concentrations of kinetin in R1 regeneration medium (0.1 and 0.3 mg/L) on the …

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

Doubled haploid (DH) plant production plays an important role in pepper (Capsicum
annuum L.) breeding for development of new varieties. However, information is lacking for …

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 …

The production of double haploids through androgenesis is used by breeders to produce
homozygous lines in a single generation. Androgenesis can be achieved by isolated …

A low percentage of normal-looking embryos (20%) is still a problem in an efficient shed-
microspore culture of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and it is more a serious problem in …
