Abstract
IN VITRO cultivation of anthers leading to androgenesis provides a new approach to the production of angiosperms possessing the gametophytic number of chromosomes. Kameya and Hinata1 reported cell cluster formation from isolated pollen grains of Brassica oleracea. This study explores the use of isolated Petunia pollen to study the conditions leading to vegetative growth.
