Abstract: The first haploid cotton with half the normal chromosome complement was discovered in 1920. And in the ninety years since then such plants have been identified in many other species. This review describes the range of techniques available for the induction of haploids and discusses their value in a range of fields， from fundamental research to applied aspects. It will focus on a new technique with which haploid plants were produced by centromere-mediated chromosome elimination and the potential value of plant haploids in genomic research in the purpose of promoting haploid techniques improvement and exploring its application.
