Characteristics of plant regenerated through Anther Culture using GM rice

Anther culture technique offers a great opportunities for accelerating breeding progress and improves grain quality characters. Comparing to the conventional method, the production of the double haploids through anther culture is a rapid approach to homozygosity, shortening the timeline required for the development of a new rice cultivars. Haploids are also valuable for the detection and repair of desirable recessive traits to introduced mutation or hybridization. This study was done to characterize gene pool derived from anther culture.
