Abstract

Since the first haploid plantlet was induced from the pollen of Citrus madurensisLoureiro in 1979, the pollen induction experiments have been continued for 3 years in 9 citrus cultivars. All plantlets grew well after transplant to soil. Successful induction of citrus pollen plants appears to be influenced by factors such as the culture materials selected, cold treatments of flower buds, concentrations of phytohormones, as well as incubation temperature. Both cytological and histological investigations show that the developed plantlets come from the pollens.
