Abstract:Application and source of plant haploids were concisely introduced. Hi
story of acquiring gynogenetic haploids via in vitro culture was reviewed and advantages of gynogenetic haploids were presented. In vitro inductive effect of gynogenetic haploid depends on genotype and physiological state of donor plants, development stage of embryo sac, pretreatment of in vitro inoculants, flower appendages, medium composition, mode of inoculation and cultivation conditions, etc. Studies on these factors were systematically summarized. For ontogeny of gynogenetic haploids, some sample studies were presented.
