In wheat, the breeding cycle can be shortened by three or four generations when the pollen haploid breeding method is used instead of conventional cross-breeding.

The twenty-six chapters of this text focus on the biotechnology of medicinal and aromatic plants. They deal with areas such as the distribution, economic importance, conventional propagation, micropropagation, tissue culture studies and the in vitro production of medicinal compounds.

Doubled haploid technology is an important tool for plant breeding.
