In the early 1990s, many basic protocols were developed for haploidy and doubled
haploidy, but most were inefficient. During the last decade, progress in technology has been …

Since the first report on the flow cytometric study of plant material 35 years ago, analyzing
the nuclear DNA content of field bean, an ever increasing number of applications of FCM …

Considerable progress has been accomplished in the cellular and molecular biology of
Brassica species in the past few years. Plant regeneration has been increasingly optimized …

Variations in genome size and chromosome complement of species provide very useful
information for biosystematic studies, and also because they influence a range of ecological …

Androgenesis, which entails cell fate redirection within the microgametophyte, is employed
widely for genetic gain in plant breeding programs. Moreover, androgenesis-responsive …

To induce androgenesis in field pea, grass pea and the model legume species Medicago
truncatula, isolated microspores of various genotypes of these three species were submitted …

Turnip is a biennial crop and, consequently, the creation of pure lines for breeding is a time-
consuming process. The production of pure turnip lines using doubled haploids produced in …

Having the ability to double the chromosome number of haploid plants has been of major
concern in their utilization for breeding, as well as for genetic, mutation and transformation …

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 …
