An efficient and easy-to-use protocol for induction of haploids in cucumber through parthenogenic embryo development
Through parthenogenic embryo development, it is possible to induce a large number of haploids in cucumber. This technique's power lies in its ability to streamline the breeding process, enhance genetic gain, and produce superior cultivars that contribute to sustainable agriculture and food security.
