Abstract


Globular 32 and 64 celled embryoids were obtained from uninucleate apple microspores (cultivar Jonathan) after 5 weeks of culture on a modified Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium. A similar induction of microspore development was not observed in younger or older stages of anther development. In such anthers only callus was formed from diploid tissues.
