Experimental haploidy in Brassica species

  • Chapter
In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 25))

Abstract

The genus Brassica comprises many familiar and commercially important food and oil-seed plants. Leaves, stems and roots have been cultivated as vegetables and animal fodder; both edible and industrial oils as well as condiments (mustards) have been prepared from the crushed seed.
