Progress and Opportunities of Doubled Haploid Production

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Plant Science ((BRIEFSPLANT,volume 6))

Abstract

Doubled haploidy is an efficient and effective research tool to obtain complete homozygosity within a heterozygous progeny in a single step. Since its discovery in 1921, various mechanisms/methods have been developed to produce doubled haploid plants, and the technique is constantly improving. Doubled haploidy has been adapted in plant breeding programs for many decades. It is a method of choice in crop species that are highly responsive and in which haploid production methodology/protocol has been well established. This chapter deals with the history of doubled haploids, production methods, and types of haploids.
