| Abstract: | Summary In anther cultures ofDatura metel, pollen-embryoids could be induced on a medium consisting of honey alone. Further studies revealed that a combination of fructose and dextrose was sufficient to trigger pollen-embryogenesis. The 2 sugars, when tried individually, did not elicit any response.The authors wish to thank Prof. V.L. Chopra and Prof. S. Ramanujam for their help and encouragement. |
