Doubled Haploid Methods in Cereals (eBook)

This volume addresses the ongoing need for progress in cereal doubled haploid (DH) technology by presenting recent developments that contribute to advances in this field. It brings together a series of general chapters that explore key questions in cereal breeding and DH production, along with detailed and up-to-date protocols for generating DH lines for use in breeding programs. In addition, the book includes methodologies for morphological, biochemical, molecular, and cytogenetic characterization that support and complement these protocols. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and thorough, Doubled Haploid Methods in Cereals aims to present up-to-date, reproducible approaches to inspire and empower researchers and breeders to develop, refine, and implement DH systems across diverse cereal species.
