Unlike the conventional methods of inbreeding, it is possible to achieve completely homozygous individuals. Using an F₁ hybrid or a segregating population as female parent in the production of maternally derived haploids increases genetic diversity in the doubled haploid line. It is advantageous if the female also has agronomically desirable traits. F₁ hybrids are suitable because their female gametes will be segregating.
