Use of Haploids in Plant Breeding Programmes
Among the different uses of haploids, their use in crop improvement is considered to be the most significant and stands out as the most important reason for emphasis on haploid research. Some of the important crops, where haploid plants have been produced.

8	Corn	16	Rice	24	Wheat

The methods used for utilizing haploids in plant breeding depend on the inheritance pattern observed in a crop, particularly when we use haploids derived from a polyploid corp. For instance allopolyploids, particularly those which are self pollinated (e.g. tobacco), exhibit disomic inheritance, while autopolyploids (e.g. Potato), particularly those, which are cross pollinated, exhibit polysomic inheritance. Uses of haploids for two types of crops will be discussed separately.
