Q. Haploid plants can be obtained by culturing

AIPMTAIPMT 1994Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production

Solution:

Haploid plants are those plants which have single set of chromosomes. Pollen grains are haploid as they are produced after meiosis so they are used for haploid production. It was first made in Datura innoxia by Guha and Maheshwari in 1964. Haploids are important in plant breeding as mutation can be easily detected in them and they are also used to produce homozygous diploids.
