Explanation

Haploids hae 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 techniquee to produce haploid plants. It is called androgenic haploid culture, in which very young unopened sterilised flowers are opened to remove young anthers. Anthers are introduced over culture medium for 4-6 weeks, to give rise to large number of embryoids (haploids).
