Toward Doubled Haploids. The Fabaceae species have a major role to play in sustainable farming systems, but they have lagged behind other families in respect to the development of doubled haploid protocols for plant improvement.
Currently, no plant improvement program uses doubled haploids on a routine basis for any member of the Fabaceae. There has recently been renewed interest in haploid research as the usefulness of doubled haploid material in molecular mapping has become clear. This review provides a comprehensive account of the current information regarding the development of haploid protocols in the Fabaceae.
Pea Nutrition. World PeaYields. Wiki Info. Pisum sativum - MHNT The pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum.[1] Each pod contains several peas.
Peapods are botanically a fruit,[2] since they contain seeds developed from the ovary of a (pea) flower.
