Drought stress is one of the major environmental constraints to crop plants including wheat worldwide. Synthetic hexaploid can act as a vehicle for improving crop tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses. Doubled haploid population consisting of one hundred and forty individuals derived from cross of Opata and SH223 was used in the present study to identify genomic regions associated with ...

The objective of this study was to produce durum wheat doubled haploid plants through the induction of microspore embryogenesis. The microspore culture technique was improved to maximize production of green plants per spike using three commercial cultivars. Studies on factors such as induction media composition, induction media support and the stage and growth of donor plants were carried out i...

Doubled haploids (DH) have become a powerful tool to assist in different basic research studies, and also applied research. The principal (but not the only) routine use of DH by breeding companies is produce pure lines for hybrid seed production crop species. Several decades after discovery haploid inducer maize anther culture as method plants from pollen precursors, biotechnological revolution...

In maize, doubled haploid (DH) technology is used in breeding programs to obtain lines, the primary input for developing new cultivars. This review aims present main points related using this steps its application, and advantages implications of DH lines maize programs.
