Abstract
Most temperate fruit trees are characterized by a long reproductive cycle with several years of a juvenile phase, a tendency to allogamy and a large tree size. They are generally highly heterozygous, outbreeding species, which are asexually propagated. For these reasons, their genetic improvement by conventional methods is time-consuming and limited by space for field experiments. The production of haploids offers new possibilities for genetic studies and breeding, especially in these perennial fruit species.
