Summary

The isolated pollen ofNicotiana tabacum cv. “Badischer Burley” obtained from coldtreated anthers (4 °C for 72 hours) cultured for 4 days, have been induced to undergo androgenesis on a synthetic medium enriched with amino acids. The advantages and potential of the culture of isolated pollen for the induction of haploids and mutation work are discussed.
