Abstract

Anther culture is an important biotechnological tool for quick recovery of fixed breeding lines with unique gene combinations that might otherwise disappear in the course of an extended series of segregating generations in conventional breeding methods in rice. The haploid microspores in culture or the resultant haploid plants are converted to doubled haploids (homozygotes). Variation in doubled haploid lines from F1 hybrids is due to the recovery of rare gene combinations by single round of recombination following meiosis. Androgenesis in rice is largely species- and genotype-specific. O. glaberrima responds better to anther culture than O. sativa; and japonica sub-group is more responsive to microspore embryogenesis than indica types. The author provides a detailed protocol of the anther culture technique for doubled haploid production in indica rice hybrids amenable for genetic improvement.
