The evaluation of induced chromosome doubling as a method of plant breeding requires more information on the specific effects of chromosome doubling than is available at the present time. It is important that this information be procured from comparisons of related diploid and tetraploid strains of known origin and similar genetic constitution, Such strains have not been generally available bec...

haploid inducer line can be transferred (DH) technology can not only shorten the breeding process but also increase genetic gain. Haploid induction and subsequent genome doubling are the two main steps required for DH technology. Haploids have been generated through the culture of immature male and female gametophytes, and through inter- and intraspecific via chromosome elimination. Here, we fo...
