Experimental androgenesis in plants—A review

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

This presents the review of seventynine species and varieties of angiosperms in which androgenesis has been induced. The culture practices, probable factors (physiological, bio-chemical and cytogenetical) involved and the applied aspects of andromorphogenesis are analysed.
