Anther culture of Solanum tuberosum L.

  • Published:
Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Embryoid formation was induced in pollen of Solanum tuberosum, cv. Pentland Crown, Maris Piper and Record, by culturing anthers at or just prior to the first pollen mitosis. The composition of the medium was not critical in respect of either nutrients or hormones. In the presence of relatively high hormone levels, callus formation also occurred from somatic tissues of the anthers.
