Abstract excerpt
The major advantage of doubled haploids in plant breeding is the immediate achievement of complete homozygosity. Desired genotypes are thus fixed in one generation, reducing time and cost for cultivar or inbred development. Among the different technologies to produce doubled haploids, microspore embryogenesis is by far the most common. It usually requires reprogramming of microspores by stress such as cold, heat,...
