Spontaneous chromosome doubling may occur via somatic cell fusion, endoreduplication, endomitosis and possibly many other mechanisms (Jensen, 1974) but due to low spontaneous doubling rates, artificial chromosome doubling methods are required for application of haploids in breeding programs (Rober et al., 2005; Chang and Coe, 2009; Geiger, 2009).
