Doubled haploid technology is an important tool for plant
breeding. It allows for significant time reduction in the
achievement of homozygous breeding lines of value in crop
improvement.
This volume provides an excellent overview of haploid induction
and the application of doubled haploids. The authors emphasize
advances made in the understanding of microspore embryogenesis, but
treat also advances in gynogenesis and the manipulation of
parthenogenetic haploid development.
The text contains a thorough discussion of the application of
haploidy to the improvement of a number of species from various
families, including Brassicaceae, Poaceae, and Solanaceae. The
various methods applicable to these species are described in
detail. Each chapter contains critical evaluation of the scientific
literature and an extensive list of references. This volume is
ideally suited for plant breeders, geneticists, and plant cell
biologists.
