Abstract excerpt
There are specific advantages of using microspores as explants: (1) A small number of explant donors are required to obtain the desired number of pollen embryoids for genetic transformation and (2) microspores constitute a synchronous mass of haploid cells, which are transformable by various means and convertible to doubled haploids therefore allow production of homozygous genotypes in a single generation....
