Abstract:

Anther culture and haploid induction were carried out from Isatis indigotica. The experimental results showed that cold pretreatment could increase the induction rate of callus. The induction rate of callus was 23.35% after 2 days of cold pretreatment. Then the calluses were successively transferred to differentiation medium (MS+BA 0.5mg·L-1+ NAA 1.0mg·L-1) and rooting medium (1/2MS+NAA 1.0mg·L-1). The complete plants were obtained 3 days later. Among which, those weak and green plantlets were haploids with 7 chromosomes.

Key words: Isatis indigotica, Anther culture, Haploid
