Abstract
Due to recalcitrant nature of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to androgenesis, the production of double haploid plants has been only reported by Grewal et al. (Plant Cell Rep 28:1289–1299, 2009) using some physical stresses such as anther centrifugation and electrical shock. In the present study, we successfully obtained haploid plants from cultured anthers of two chickpea cultivars, Bivanij and Arman, using high 2,4-D and silver nitrate containing media without applying of these time and labor consuming stresses. For induction of androgenesis, different concentrations of 2, 4-D (0, 2, 5 and 10 mg/l) and silver nitrate (0, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 50 mg/l) were used in embryo development medium. In Bivanij cultivar, anther induction medium containing 10 mg/l 2,4-D and 15 mg/l silver nitrate produced the highest number of embryos (0.188) and regenerated plants (0.1) per each cultured anther, while the highest frequencies of embryos (0.1) and regenerated plants (0.075 and 0.063) were obtained from Arman cultivar when 10 mg/l 2,4-D was combined with 15 and 50 mg/l silver nitrate in anther culture medium, respectively. In second part of this study, different cold (4 °C for 4 and 7 days) and heat (30 °C for 10 days, 32 °C for 2 days and 35 °C for 8 h) pretreatments were applied on cultured anthers of Bivanij cultivar. Incubation of cultured anthers at 32 °C for 2 days significantly enhanced the rate of embryo formation up to 0.222 embryos per each anther, while the highest number of regenerated plants/anther (0.0332) was obtained when cold treated anthers at 4 °C for 7 days incubated at 30 °C for 10 days. Taken together, these results provide a good basis for large-scale generation of DH plants in this important legume species.
