Summary
Anther culture ofPhysalis minima L. (2 n=48) was successful and embryos and plantlets could be obtained 5–6 weeks after culture. MS medium containing CM was essential for pollen division. 16.7% of the cultured anthers produced plantlets. All the pollen plantlets were triploid (3 n=72). Regeneration of multiple shoot buds was obtained from cultured leaf and stem expiants of pollen plantlets.
