Doubled haploidy and induced mutation
Doubled haploidy and induced mutation
- Euphytica, 158(3), p.359-370, 2007 .
Doubled haploid (DH)systems have many attractive features for inducing and fixing mutations. Doubled haploidy provides the fastest route to homozygosity with the greatest fidelity. The ability to fix mutations via doubled haploidy is a key factor, especially as induced muta-tions are predominantly recessive and cannot normally be detected until the M2 generation at the earliest. The DH systems themselves provide an opportunity to target haploid as well as dou-bled haploid cells for mutation treatment and capture the mutation in a homozygous, pure line.
