The new technique will be added to the company's EmbryVu testing service, making it the first NGS-based PGS platform that can identify key chromosomal abnormalities including
haploidy, triploidy, and some forms of tetraploidy and UPiD.
Decapitation and genetic markers as related to
haploidy in Solanum tuberosum.

In slightly aged oocytes because of spontaneous reduction of MPF activity, the incidence of
haploidy was low.
Also, sterile plants, or plants without seed, caused by virus infection, male-sterility or
haploidy, or other factors, may be confused with green stem disorder; however, these phenomena usually occur in very low frequency in a field.
Conversion of diploidy to
haploidy. Nature 2000;403: 723-4.
In recent years, technological innovations in genetics and related disciplines have made it possible to direct this evolution by utilizing hybridization, heterosis, polyploidy, mutations, wild crosses, tissue culture,
haploidy, protoplast fusion, soma-canal variation, antibody probes and DNA probes.
- The basic model assumed
haploidy for the sake of simplicity and reducing computation time, but most of relevant organisms are diploid.
Therefore, these techniques can conduct with more quick and effective in vitro techniques such as "
haploidy techniques." It is possible to get 100% homozygote pure lines in one year by obtaining plants that have haploid chromosome number and doubling their chromosome numbers with colchicine.
On the other hand,
haploidy or doubled
haploidy can also be achieved from the male gametophyte or its precursors through a pathway known as androgenesis.
However, the ploidy of a number of dinoflagellates remains unknown, and molecular genetic support for
haploidy in this group has been lacking.
Due to
haploidy of the males, any gene balance in haplo-diploid organisms must exist as an internal balance of genes within chromosomes rather than between genes between homologous chromosomes (Mather 1973).
Since
haploidy also offers the advantages of sampling gametes in a random fashion, DH lines represent an ideal genetic population for reliable gene and DNA marker mapping (Zhang et al., 2002).
Haploidy, therefore, is apparently an important step, and diploid cells rarely recover completely.
This corroborates theoretical predictions and empirical evidence that at equilibrium, mitochondrial gene flow should be more restricted because of its smaller effective population size resulting from
haploidy and maternal transmission (Takahata and Slatkin 1984; Chapman 1989).
