Embryo culture is a component of in vitrofertilisation where in resultant embryos are allowed to grow for some time in an artificial medium .
Anther culture is a technique by which the developing anthers at a precise and critical stage are excised aseptically from unopened flower bud and are cultured on a nutrient medium where the microspores within the cultured anther develop into callus tissue or embryoids that give rise to haploid plantlets either through organogenesis or embryogenesis

Answer:
Embryo culture is the culture of isolated immature or mature embryos. Zygotic or seed embryos are often used advantageously as explants in plant tissue culture, for example, to initiate callus cultures. This embryo develops properly when nourishing tissue; endosperm was present in the seed during the development.
