Abstract
When anthers of henbane containing uninucleate pollen grains were cultured, a large number of embryoids originated exclusively from the division of the generative cell. In a small proportion of pollen grains, both generative and vegetative cells contributed to embryoid formation. Embryogenesis by segmentation of the vegetative cell alone was rarely observed.Keywords
