In vitro Culture of Heat-treated Anthers Induces Embryogenic Callus in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Open
Microspore embryogenesis is the developmental plasticity of juvenile male gametophytes to switch from
pollen to embryo development upon exposure to in vitro stress. It is a common method for obtaining
haploid and doubled haploid plan…
