Conditional lethal markers: spontaneous haploid selection in plants

  • Chapter
In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 23))

Abstract

Haploidy refers to any organism, tissue or cell, having the chromosomal constitution similar to the normal gametes of a given species (Chase, 1951). Haploid plants are useful for developing inbred lines (Gallais, 1986; Fouroughi-Wehr and Wenzel, 1990) and for the selection of recessive mutations at the cellular level (Grafe et al., 1986; Marion-Poll et al., 1988). Haploids plants can be produced by two methods: a) in vitro, and b) in situ.
