Solanum tuberosum, monohaploids, dihaploid, anther culture . SUMMARY Monohaploid Solanum tuberosum plants were produced from the anthers of a dihaploid genotype . From another dihaploid genotype plants containing 36 chromosomes were obtained . For plantlet production anthers containing pollen at the uninucleate microspore stage were inoculated on a Linsmaier and Skoog-based medium supplemented with I mg/ 1 indole-3-acetic acid and I mg/ 1 benzyl aminopurine .Anthers from donor plants grown either in the summer or in the winter responded similarly on a range of media. Anther response in the form of callus induction and root formation was at least partly dependent on the genotype of the donor dihaploid plant .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
