Abstract

Rice anthers were cultured in liquid N6 medium containing various concentration of growth harmones. Haploid plants were treated with different doses of colchicine to develop doubled haploid (DH) plants.The DH plants were transferred to soil and seeds were harvested from mature plants.The DH plants would be suitable for genetics and molecular breeding activities.
