Abstract

Pollen embryos of Datura innoxia Mill are produced in larger numbers from anthers on agar-gelled medium containing polyvinylpolypyrrolidone than on control. The best response is observed with 0.5% polyvinylpolypyrrolidone. The effect is possibly due to adsorption of substances (phenolics) emanating from cultured anthers and inhibiting the development of pollen grains into embryos.
