- Title
Putative role of ethylene in Datura metel microspore embryogenesis.

- Abstract
The role of ethylene in microspore embryogenesis was analyzed by studying the effect of cobalt ions, silver ions, methionine and Ethrel on the androgenic response of in vitro cultured anthers of Datura metel L. Cobalt and silver ions, provided in the form of cobalt chloride and silver nitrate, respectively, decreased the average number of embryos/plantlets developed per anther, at all the concentrations tested. In contrast, methionine (10−5–10−3M) and Ethrel (10−6 and 10−5M) stimulated embryo formation. The optimal enhancement was recorded at 10−5M of both methionine and Ethrel.
