Abstract
The attempts to produce haploid sugar beet plants have embraced miscellaneous techniques, such as natural polyembryony, induction with irradiated pollen, crosses with polyploid plants or wild species, and anther and microspore culture. Most resulted in limited success, but by using a gynogenetic approach Hosemans and Bossoutrot (1983) were able to report successful doubled haploid production. Since then sugar beet breeding companies, as well as public institutes, have been involved in optimizing the ovule culture method. Several publications have presented studies supporting modifications with beneficial effects, reviewed by Pedersen and Keimer (1996). In this paper a robust protocol well suited for high-throughput DH-production of sugar beet is presented.
