“…In summary, efforts have been made to obtain haploids from several hundred species, although efficient and reproducible DH protocols are available only for less than thirty. Additionally, although both general and specific information is given in these and other crop‐specific reviews (Braniste et al. , 1984; Zhang et al.…”

SummaryThe first haploid angiosperm, a dwarf form of cotton with half the normal chromosome complement, was discovered in 1920, and in the ninety years since then such plants have been identified in many other species. They can occur either spontaneously or can be induced by modified pollination methods in vivo, or by in vitro culture of immature male or female gametophytes. Haploids represent an immediate, one-stage route to homozygous diploids and thence to F 1 hybrid production. The commercial exploitation of heterosis in such F 1 hybrids leads to the development of hybrid seed companies and subsequently to the GM revolution in agriculture. This review describes the range of techniques available for the isolation or induction of haploids and discusses their value in a range of areas, from fundamental research on mutant isolation and transformation, through to applied aspects of quantitative genetics and plant breeding. It will also focus on how molecular methods have been used recently to explore some of the underlying aspects of this fascinating developmental phenomenon.

Doubled Haploid Production in Crop Plants

Forty-four protocols of doubled haploid production (DH) are presented in this Manual. They are related to at least 33 plant species, not counting protocols on production of DH from interspecific hybrids. The protocols provide procedures for production of DH in such major crops as wheat, maize, barley, rapeseed or potato and also in other crop species where this technology is more advanced, or in other words, where a relatively high frequency of doubled haploids was obtained. However, there have been several approaches to develop doubled haploids in many crops or plant species. We are presenting below the list of publications related to DH production in 226 additional plant species. This list does not include protocols of plant species published in Chapter 2 of this Manual. This means that efforts have been undertaken to develop doubled haploids in more than 250 plant species as the presented list was built on the basis of our own collection of related publications and as a result of searching in publicly available databases. It was impossible to cite all published information. We limited references to those which carried protocols or more recent information on DH production. In the cited papers, presented protocols did not always lead to the regeneration of haploid or doubled haploid plants. However, even negative results can be very helpful for someone who is initiating this work. We hope that publication of this list will help in further application of DH technology in crop improvement and basic research.
