In vitro regeneration systems provide a powerful tool for manipulating ploidy to facilitate
breeding and development of new crops. Polyploid induction can expand breeding …

Green plants provide food, fuel, materials, and medicine for humans. Amongst these,
medicinal plants contain unique molecules with therapeutic applications. However, our …

Androgenesis has become the most frequently chosen method of doubled haploid (DH)
production in major crops. Theoretically, plantlets derived from in vitro cultured microspore …

Melissa officinalis L., a well-known herb with diverse industrial and ethnopharmacological
properties. Although, there has been a significant lack in the breeding attempts of this …

The doubled haploid technique aims to generate pure inbred lines for basic research and as
commercial cultivars. The doubled haploid technique first generates haploid plants and is …

Doubled haploids have played a major role in cucurbit breeding for the past four decades. In
situ parthenogenesis via irradiated pollen is the preferred technique to obtain haploid …

Vegetable crops are important source of different nutrients and become a keystone in the
balanced diets of every household by increasing the health status of people. With the …

The completely homozygous genetic background of doubled haploids (DHs) has many
applications in breeding programs and research studies. Haploid induction and …

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 …

Doubled haploids in cucurbit species are produced through in situ parthenogenesis via
pollination with irradiated pollen for further use as parental lines for hybrid F1 production. In …
