Abstract
Methods for producing homozygous plants, seeds, and plant cells are provided. The methods comprise transforming a somatic cell of a maize haploid embryo with a polynucleotide of interest and treating the transformed cell with a chromosome doubling agent. One or more growth stimulation proteins, such as, for example, RepA or Lec1, may also be provided.
