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

The Solanaceae is one of the most important families for global agriculture. Among the
different solanaceous species, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), potato (Solanum tuberosum) …

Background For in vitro culture of plant and animal cells, one of the critical steps is to adjust
the initial cell density. A typical example of this is isolated microspore culture, where specific …

Production of doubled haploids (DHs) is a convenient tool to obtain pure lines for breeding
purposes. Until now, the easiest and most useful approach to obtain pepper DHs is via …

Production of doubled haploid (DH) plants is an efficient tool in genetic and plant breeding
programs; however, sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is recalcitrant to microspore …

The combined effect of anther incubation time on CP induction medium (12, 14, and 16
days) and 2 concentrations of kinetin in R1 regeneration medium (0.1 and 0.3 mg/L) on the …

Doubled haploid (DH) plant production plays an important role in pepper (Capsicum
annuum L.) breeding for development of new varieties. However, information is lacking for …

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 …

The production of double haploids through androgenesis is used by breeders to produce
homozygous lines in a single generation. Androgenesis can be achieved by isolated …

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 …
