Abstract excerpt
The development of pure homozygous lines is a critical objective in plant breeding, yet conventional methodologies for achieving this goal are time-consuming. Double haploid (DH) technology suggests a powerful technique for producing pure lines with homozygosity stabilization within a single generation. This study aimed to optimize haploid induction protocols and evaluated the effects of gamma-irradiated pollen...
