Abstract
The effects of amino acid cysteine to culture systems of microspore-derived callus induction as well as plantlet regeneration were studied. Isolated pollen along with anther walls of basmati cultivars, Pusa basmati 1, Basmati 370 and Basmati 386 were cultured in a medium based on N6 salts supplemented with or without cysteine following pollen embedment in agarose. The induction and regeneration medium with cysteine gave twice as effective androgenesis and plantlet regeneration in recalcitrant basmati rice cultivars as compared with medium lacking cysteine. Unlike the highly responsive model systems, most of the indica cultivars responded rather poorly in anther culture. So the study may accelerate the introgression of desirable genes into basmati rice using anther culture as a breeding tool. Response of microspores in androgenesis, plant regeneration and albinism was genotype specific. Regeneration of Indica rice varieties remains a limiting factor for researchers undertaking transformation experiments.
