Question

Androgenic haploids in anther culture are produced by

Answer 1

In androgenesis, the male gametophyte (microspore or immature pollen) produces haploid plant. The basic principle is to stop the development of pollen cell into a gamete (sex cell) and force it to develop into a haploid plant. There are two approaches in androgenesis—anther culture and pollen (microspore)culture.
