Summary: ABSTRACT - In maize, doubled haploid (DH) technology is used in breeding programs to obtain lines, the primary input for developing new cultivars. This review aims to present the main points related to using this technology in maize, the steps for its application, and the advantages and implications of using DH lines in maize breeding programs. RESUMO - Em milho, a tecnologia de duplo-haploides (DHs) é utilizada nos programas de melhoramento genético para obtenção de linhagens, principal insumo para o desenvolvimento de novas cultivares. O objetivo desta revisão é apresentar os principais pontos relacionados ao uso desta tecnologia em milho, as etapas para sua aplicação e as vantagens e implicações do uso de linhagens DHs em programas de melhoramento de milho.
