Saponaria vaccaria, related Saponaria species and species in other genera of the Caryophyllaceae family are well known for the production of saponins whi ch have many established commercial uses including: detergents, foaming agents, emulsifiers and recently as adjuvants for vaccine development. Additionally, seed of Saponaria species comprises a novel starch with uniform small size grains suitable for numerous novel applications, and various cyclopeptides, proteins and secondary metabolites that have potential drug, nutraceutical o r health care properties. The present invention discloses a method of culturin g isolated microspores and generation of doubled haploid plant lines that are suitable for the rapid selection of Saponaria species with altered and improved seed composition and agronomic performance.
