Anther, a male reproductive organ, is diploid (2n) in chromosome numbers. As a result of microsporogenesis, tetrads of microspores are formed from a single spore mother cell. They are known as pollen grains after their release from tetrads. Pollen grain is the haploid (n) small, male gametophyte covered by two membranes outer ‘exine’ and inner ‘intine’ and divide mitotically to produce a bigger vegetative cell(n) and a smaller generative cell(n). Therefore, if we culture the whole anther then we will get both haploid plantlets from pollen grains and diploid plantlets from anther wall (vegetative cell).
