Globally, plant breeders aim to achieve higher crop productivity by using different breeding techniques. The double haploid genotypes have made this monotonous work easier and more efficient to a greater extent by achieving homozygosity and genetic fixation. Haploids are genotype with a gametophytic chromosome number, and a double haploid is a genotype developed when haploid cells undergo chromosome doubling. Artificial production of double haploids can easily shorten the time required to create homozygous plants which is vital in plant breeding. The book discusses how double haploids can help in accelerating conventional plant breeding programs and make early release of cultivars with superior and desirable traits along with greater utility in other research aspects of plant breeding, genetics, and genetic engineering. It also explains the role of double haploids in complementing back cross breeding by transferring genes of interest from wild relatives thus breaking genetic barriers. The book highlights the role of double haploids in genetic studies like inheritance of quantitative traits, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, Genomics, gene identification, whole genome mapping and production of stable, transgenic plants. This book is essential for plant breeders, geneticists, researchers, and students in agricultural and crop sciences, offering insights into the transformative potential of double haploid technology in modern plant breeding. 606 $aAgricultural biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural genome mapping 606 $aBotany 606 $aAgricultural Biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural Genetics 606 $aPlant Science 615 0$aAgricultural biotechnology. 615 0$aAgricultural genome mapping. 615 0$aBotany. 615 14$aAgricultural Biotechnology. 615 24$aAgricultural Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Science. 676 $a630 676 $a664.024 700 $aJha$b Zenu$01791005 701 $aVerulkar$b Satish B$01791006 701 $aPenna$b Suprasanna$01589018 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910986139903321 996 $aDoubled Haploids: Technological Advances and Role In Crop Improvement$94349705 997 $aUNINA
