Hello All,
I am looking to develop some DH lines (actually a number of them),
does anyone know of any commercial endeavors in DH line development?

I might need doubled haploid lines to be developed, but not as a
commercial venture, more like the open source ideas of Linux and GNU -
I'm not too clear on the exact legal structure of it all. I believe I
can get more cooperation from people on this basis, and so far, I have
had a good response.

The project is to develop alder as a grain crop. I have found an
interesting variation in the wild, I am looking for more and I can
foresee the need for doubled haploids for reasons which I don't have
to explain.

If you feel that you cannot waste your time on a project which is for
free, I fully understand, but I have no idea where to start, I would
be grateful for your reading list. There is no urgency, I cannot start
til next spring.

Regards

Michael Bell
