The Fabaceae species have a major role to play in sustainable farming systems, but they
have lagged behind other families in respect to the development of doubled haploid …

In earlier works, the author reviewed and emphasized the importance of the in vitro induction
of haploids (Reinert and Bajaj 1977; Bajaj 1983 a). During the last decade tremendous …

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 …

A significant correlation among chromosome number, chloroplast number and pollen grain
size was observed using interspecific hybrids (2 n= 30, 60), Arachis hypogaea (2 n= 40), A …

Wheat is the second most important cereal crop in the world. From the earlier radiocarbon
dated remains, its existence as a tetraploid wild emmer variety was established around 6700 …

The compounds making up the dry weight of seeds play a major role in determining the
nutritional quality and ultimately the uses and economic value of the seed. The carbohydrate …

The genomes of eukaryotes are in a dynamic state of flux. Nowhere is this more apparent
than in higher plants, particularly under in vitro culture systems, where the amount of …

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 …

Peanut cultivars currently available to growers in the US are the result of extensive selection
and breeding activities to combine many desirable characteristics into single genotypes …

There has been a remarkable escalation of interest in tissue-culture derived plant variation
(somaclonal variation) in the last few years. Earlier authors were aware to some extent that …
