Androgenesis at Fytagoras: selecting the right courgette microspores
Selection of the right (stage) microspores is essential for the induction of microspore cell division in androgenesis to produce doubled haploid plants. In Fytagoras’ research into these stages sometimes results in beautiful images. The picture, taken with a confocal scanning laser microscope, shows a courgette (Cucurbita pepo) microspore stained with DiOC(6). The research into the […]
