Abstract
Carrot is a vegetable of increasing economic importance. New hybrid cultivars are constantly required to meet the changing market needs. The application of anther culture significantly shortens the difficult and long-lasting breeding of carrot. We examined all the stages of the process of generating androgenic plants: induction of embryos in anther cultures, regeneration and acclimatization of produced plants, their evaluation, ploidy and homozygosity, and many other factors affecting their effectiveness. Every factor has been optimized by experimentally selecting the optimal level. As a result, a full protocol of producing homozygous plants using anther cultures was developed, which is presented in this chapter.
