title: Production of haploid plantlets in anther cultures of Albizzia lebbeck L.
abstract: Anthers of Albizzia lebbeck on B5 medium (BM) supplemented with kinetin (2 mg/l) and 2, 4-D (0.5 mg/l) showed callus initiation from microspores. Differentiation of embryoids and shoots was obtained on BM + BAP (1 mg/l) + IAA (0.5 mg/l) and of roots on BM. Root tip squashes of the regenerated plantlets showed the haploid chromosome number (n=13), confirming the microspore origin of the regenerants.
