This title offers 62 chapters divided among three volumes covering the latest topics dealing with Doubled Haploid (DH) technology, as well as methods to produce DHs in different species through different in vivo and in vitro approaches. Volume 1 explores general topics and transversal methods in DH technology; DH production in two alliaceae, onion, and leek; and DH production in cereals such as barley, durum, bread, oat, and japonica rice. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, application details for both the expert and non-expert reader, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and comprehensive, Doubled Haploid Technology, Volume 1: General Topics, Alliaceae, Cereals is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers looking to learn more about this interesting and developing field.
