Table S1. Variance component analysis. Figure S1. Effect of in vitro chromosome doubling on embryogenesis. Results are shown for three different genotypes (F1 crosses) for the classical approach where the microspores are placed in Petri dishes directly after isolation, and for the approach presented here including an in vitro colchicine step (1 mM for 24h).
