Toward Doubled Haploid Production in the Fabaceae: Progress, Constraints, and Opportunities
|
The Fabaceae species have a major role to play in sustainable farming systems, but they have lagged behind other families in respect to the development of doubled haploid protocols for plant improvement. Currently, no plant improvement program uses doubled haploids on a routine basis for any member of the Fabaceae. There has recently been renewed interest in haploid research as the usefulness of doubled haploid material in molecular mapping has become clear. This review provides a comprehensi...

Production of haploid tobacco plants: Using anther culture
The American Biology Teacher
; HOW-TO-DO-IT For plant scientists, production of haploid plants using techniques such as anther culture has long been considered important for genetic and mutation studies (Sunderland & Roberts, 1977). Since haploid plants carry only one allele of each gene, recessive characteristics are

A SIMPLE WHEAT HAPLOID AND DOUBLED HAPLOID PRODUCTION SYSTEM USING ANTHER CULTURE
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology
; SUMMARY Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) haploids and doubled haploids have been used in breeding programs and genetic studies. Wheat haploids and doubled haploids via anther culture are usually produced by a multiple step culture procedure. We improved a wheat haploid and doubled haploid production

Rapid attainment of a doubled haploid line from transgenic maize (Zea mays L.) plants by means of anther culture
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology
; SUMMARY We present a strategy for establishing a transgenic doubled haploid maize line from heterozygous transgenic material by means of anther culture. Compared to conventional inbreeding, the in vitro androgenesis technique enables a faster generation of virtually fully homozygous lines. Since

Reduction of ploidy level by androgenesis in intergeneric Lolium-Festuca hybrids for turf grass breeding.(Turfgrass Science)
Crop Science
; MEMBERS OF THE GENUS Lolium, especially L. perenne and to a lesser degree, L. multiflorum, are desirable turfgrasses because of their deep green color, relatively fine texture, quick establishment, good density, and uniformity. Their major problems are relatively poor persistence and susceptibility

ENHANCEMENT OF EMBRYOGENESIS AND PLANT REGENERATION FROM BARLEY ANTHER CULTURE BY LOW DOSES OF GAMMA IRRADIATION
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology
; SUMMARY The effects of 0, 5 and 10 Gy doses of gamma irradiation on the enhancement of embryogenesis and plant regeneration efficiency of three barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes, Igri, Arabi Abiad and AECS 76, were evaluated. Embryo yields at 5 and 10 Gy doses were significantly higher than
