Abstract

Anthers of 15 non-allelic male-sterile tomato mutants and their isogenic fertile lines were cultured in vitro. Anthers of one mutant (ms 1035) readily produced callus containing haploid cells and cells of higher ploidy levels. Conditions for the regeneration of plantlets from this callus were identified. Anthers of the remaining mutants and all the fertile isolines degenerated rapidly in culture. Role of the stage of microsporogenesis in successful anther culture is discussed.
