The discovery of haploids in higher plants led to the use of doubled haploid (DH) technology
in plant breeding. This article provides the state of the art on DH technology including the …

Grain legumes, the important constituents of sustainability‐based crop** systems and
energy‐limited vegetarian diets have long been the subject of scientific research …

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 …

Climate change, depleting natural resources, declining arable land and sky-high population
represent the main obstacles to the attainment of global food security. Therefore, to make a …

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 …

This is the first report on the production of double-haploid chickpea embryos and
regenerated plants through anther culture using Canadian cultivar CDC Xena (kabuli) and …

Doubled haploid technology is, so far, the fastest route to induce a true homozygous state in
plants. True homozygous plants are particularly important for breeders, as they can facilitate …

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 …

Contemporary plant breeders no longer need to rely solely on traditional methodologies in
their work of assuring a sustainable and elastic level of world food production. However …
