Contributions of the Haploid Method to Plant Breeding

publisher奈良Development in methods of inducing haploids with a considerable frequency will help us to use haploids in breeding, as homozygotes can be produced immediately after doubling the the chromosomes of haploids. The senior author has been advocating adoption of what is called "the haploid method" in plant breeding since the idea occurred to him in his studies regarding the induction of haploid plants. Encouragingly enough, a considerable amount of results concerning the haploid method have been achieved by many investigators in the practical field of plant breeding. Here the progress of the haploid method will be outlined
