Haploid and dihaploid female and rare dihaploid male plants were produced inMelandrium album throughin vitro induced androgenesis. In the seed progeny obtained from cross-hybridization between dihaploid androgenic males (supermales) and standard females only male plants were observed. The microspores containing Y chromosome gave rise to supermales.
