anthers were taken from bean flower buds of the variety Aquadlce and microspore developmental stages were determined according to flower bud sizes. Anthers were cultured on modified Schenk and Hildebrandt medium (SH) supplemented with EDTA ferric monosodium salt to the SH medium which was taken from formulation of Murashige and Skoog (MS), casein hydrolysate 400 mg/l, some amino acids, and different combinations of growth regulators; kinetin and naphthalene acetic acid and 2, 4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (Kin + NAA + 2, 4-D) and benzyl adenine (BA + NAA + 2,4-D) in different concentrations. The combination (BA + NAA + 2, 4-D) used with flower bud sizes (7.1-8) mm, containing uninucleate microspores, gave better callus induction (50%). It was also found that the concentrations [1.0, 2.0] mg/l of ascorbic acid were better to prevent the accumulation of phenols in the medium than the concentration [0.0] mg/l. The cytological analysis revealed that the number of chromosomes in callus induced from flower bud sizes (2.5-6.4) mm contained diploid (2n=12 chromosomes), whereas chromosomes in callus induced from flower bud sizes (6.5-8.0) mm contained haploid (n=6 chromosomes) with the presence of some diploid cells (12 chromosomes).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
