Abstract

Chosen species and cultivars(Nicotiana sanderae, N. glutinosa, N. otophora, N. paniculata, N. sylvestris, N. velutina, N. tabacum cv. Samsun, N. tabacum cv. Samsun — a dihaploid line, and an amphidiploid N.sylvestris x N tomentosiformis) were treated with adequate concentration of n-buthylmethane sulphonate. The anthers of M1 plants were cultured on the medium of NITSCH 1969 plus 0.1 mg IAA/1. Special attention was paid to quantitative characteristics of androgenesis. Androgenesis occurred more often in the treated variants. The conclusions have been confirmed of a heterosis effect of adequate chemomutagen concentration at the diploid level (an increase in the number of androgenic anthers in the treated variants, and a decrease in the mean number of haploids per androgenic anther) in the broad range of the material. We have recorded a high androgenic ability in the amphidiploidN. sylvestris x N. tomentosiformis, and androgenesis inN. velutina for the first time.
