The present invention also relates to a method for identification of a plant in a plant population, wherein the plant has at least one mutation in the KNL2 protein, in particular within the SANTA domain, which confers activity of a haploid inducer. Further provided is a set of oligonucleotides for the identification of a plant having activity of a haploid inducer.
