Assay for doubled haploid sunflower (Helianthus annuus) plant production by androgenesis : fact or artifact ? Part 1 : in vitro anther culture

Sunflower anthers placed on solid medium developed calli and embryos after 12 days. Embryogenesis was improved by the addition of 0.1% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) that alleviated anther and medium browning. As in other species, genotypic variability was an important parameter in the anther response and a medium genotype interaction was suggested with a differentPVP effect depending on the genotype. Embryo germination was largely increased by the successive use of germination media with decreasing sucrose concentrations (10% -> 6% -> 3%). Histological examination of the anthers during the first ten days of culture showed that, under our conditions, the embryos were of somatic origin, arising directly from the anther wall on the outside or inside of the anther loculus, or indirectly from proliferating anther wall- or connective tissue-derived callus. Finally, the ploidy statue of 78 embryo-derived plants was determined by Feulgen stain or flow cytometry : all plants were diploid (2n - 34).
