Abstract
Factors favouring pollen callus proliferation, induction of embryogenesis and plant regeneration from cultured anthers of Digitalis obscura L. were determined. The presence of auxins was essential for cell proliferation and morphogenesis, and incubation in darkness singificantlyincreased these responses. Callus proliferation usually preceded embryo development, although sometimes direct embryogenesis was observed. On the other hand, bud differentiation was achieved only when callus was transferred to media containing cytokinin or several auxin/cytokinin combinations. Different ploidy levels] were observed in the regenerated plants, with approximately 50% being haploid.
