The present invention relates to a method for producing double haploid plants, which may comprise the steps of allowing pollen with one functional sperm cell to fertilize an embryo sac cell which is not the central cell allowing the central cell to proliferate into endosperm and regenerating a double haploid plant from the endosperm. The pollen with one functional sperm cell may be for example mutant pollen, which is obtainable by chemical mutation, transformation with a nucleic acid, or irradiation.
