  • Haploid plant production through anther and pollen culture as well as the ovary or ovum culture is of immense use in plant breeding programme carried out for improvement of crops.
  • It enables raising plants which express recessive traits.
  • It is helpful in producing genetically homozygous plants which serve as parents in crossbreeding.
  • Homozygous plants can be raised by diploidization of haploids through colchicine treatment.
