Double haploids in ornamentals

Sporophytic plants having gametophytic chromosome number are termed as haploid. These plants can be produced either spontaneously in nature or by in vitro or in vivo induction technique. By doubling chromosome number of haploid either spontaneously or artificially, double haploid (DH) could be produced. Double haploid are homozygous and this homozygosity is achieved in one generation by using DH production systems. This production system is used for fixation of heterosis. Genetic map construction is relatively easy with DH population.

Doubled haploid (DH) plant production plays an important role in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) breeding for development of new varieties. However, information is lacking for DH plant production in pepper genotypes carrying ornamental value. The major goal of this study was to produce DH ornamental pepper lines having the mentioned value.
