Haploids and doubled haploids are critical components of plant breeding. This review is
focused on studies on haploids and double haploids inducted in cucurbits through in vitro …

Micronutrient malnutrition is a major problem in developing countries affecting women,
children and infants. Biofortification, improved soil health and waste management …

Application of chemical substances as stress pre-treatment factors may positively influence
androgenetic responses in cereal and other crops. AgNO 3 is an anti-ethylene compounds …

Due to recalcitrant nature of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to androgenesis, the production of
double haploid plants has been only reported by Grewal et al.(Plant Cell Rep 28: 1289 …

The production of large numbers of haploids is the crucial point of the dihaploidisation
process. Although in vitro haploid plants were successfully produced by irradiated pollen …

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 …

Anther culture response of a cucumber cultivar (Beta Alpha) and three Iranian landraces of
cucumber (Basmenj, Isfahani, and Korki) on MS culture media with an altered macronutrient …

The present study was undertaken to develop an efficient protocol in cucumber for induction
of large number haploids through gynogenesis and to understand the effects of heterosis on …

Doubled haploid (DH) technology is very advantageous in plant breeding. This technique is
beneficial for reducing the time required to obtain pure lines and contributes to the selection …

Modern plant breeding studies have focused on the production of F1 hybrid varieties which
are tolerant to abiotic stress arising from global climate change. Sweet watermelon (Citrullus …
