Editors:
- Brings together current issues in haploid production in plants with an historical back drop
- After lull caused by recalcitrant cultures and a lack of research tools new interest in this area has surged as the potential originally seen many decades ago is now becoming a reality
- A such, there is great interest in current science and technology applied to the understanding basic biological processes such as embryogenesis and great interest from biotechnology companies wishing to capitalize on the success

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book has twenty-eight chapters compiled by international authors, many of whom have a wealth of experience because of their long involvement in this field of research. … The volume is highly recommended as an addition to any library. It will be a very valuable source of information for personnel involved in research and teaching in academia, and for persons with a more ‘industrial’ bias." (M. R. Davey, Annals of Botany, Vol. 104 (7), 2009)
“This volume … attempts to give a broad overview of this wide topic, and also presents some recent findings and concepts. … No doubt any researcher in haploid production would find this a very valuable source of information … and drawing on the expertise of many of the acknowledged leaders in this area of science. For a general reader, there is a wide range of chapters, encompassing useful subjects such as patents and haploids, and in many cases providing a wealth of information … .” (Steve Millam, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 46 (1), 2009)Editors and Affiliations
