Abstract
Immature zygotic hybrid embryos of sunflower were cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP in the range of 0.5 02.5 mg/l. Adventitious shoot buds were induced on the hypocotyl region of the immature embryos of a cross between a commercial male sterile line (234A) and a restorer line (RF1). These adventitious buds were grown to shoots, rooted and transferred to the field. Fertile plants were obtained which set seeds in approximately two and a half months from initiation. This method will help shorten generation time an therefore can be profitably used in sunflower breeding programmes.
