HORT 515
Haploids In Vitro
1. Terminology and Background
Selection for recessive traits in recombinant lines is more efficient since these
are not masked by the effects of dominant alleles
Day 14 (to 16) - embryos are dissected and cultured in the dark at 18 to
22 C, embryos develop in vitro
Day 50 - plants
Progeny: V VV VB VBB

Anther and Microspore Culture
History:
Actively growing plants and the first set of flowers are most responsive

Cold Pretreatment of Anthers Enhances the
Embryogenic Response
Cold treatment imposed prior to the first pollen mitosis increases the
frequency of symmetric divisions of the microspore leading to embryo
formation, control – room temperature.
