Abstract
HAPLOIDY was first reported to occur in Datura stramonium by Blakeslee et al.1. Since then, haploids occurring spontaneously or induced under artificial conditions have been recorded in many flowering plants2. As far as we are aware, haploidy in Corchorus has not yet been reported. Datta3 reported a case of polyembryony in Corchorus without, however, any cytological analysis of the twin seedlings.
