Abstract

Anthers ofLycium halimifolium were grownin vitro at the following stages of development: tetrads, microspores and binucleate pollen grains. Pollen plantlets were obtained only from anthers inoculated at the stage of microspores. The growth of androgenic embryos was very slow. Mature embryos were formed in about 3% of the inoculated anthers. The largest number of embryos obtained from one anther was 4.
