Explanation

Haploids have a single genome as found in the gametes of the species. A haploid has only one copy of each chromosome and is highly sterile. Guha and Maheshwari (1964) developed a culture technique to produce haploid plants It is called androgenic haploid culture, in which very young unopened sterilized flowers are opened to remove young anthers. Anthers are introduced over culture medium for 4-6 weeks, to a give rise to large number of embryoids (haploids)
