Biology Question on sexual reproduction in flowering plants
Which ones produce androgenic haploids in anther cultures?
A
Anther wall
B
Tapetal layer of anther wall
C
Connective tissue
D
Young pollen grains
Answer
Young pollen grains
Explanation
Solution
Haploid production through a culture has been referred to as androgenesis. The androgenic method of haploid production is from the male gametophyte of an angiosperm plant i.e., microspore (immature pollen). Young pollen grains produced androgenic haploids in anther cultures while anther wall, tapetal layer of anther wall and connective tissue are the parts of anther. Tapetal layer is the nutritive tissue.
