Abstract
Doubled haploid (DH) systems have many attractive features for inducing and fixing mutations. Doubled haploidy provides the fastest route to homozygosity with the greatest fidelity. The ability to fix mutations via doubled haploidy is a key factor, especially as induced mutations␣are predominantly recessive and cannot normally be detected until the M2 generation at the earliest. The DH systems themselves provide an opportunity to target haploid as well as doubled haploid cells for mutation treatment and capture the mutation in a homozygous, pure line.
