The experiments to assess the role of iron in morphogenesis of microspore-derived plantlets in anther cultures of Datura metel revealed that even on iron-deficient medium androgenesis is initiated but the induced units fail to grow beyond multicellular stage, if anthers are not transferred to iron-incorporated medium. Another important conclusion drawn from an experiment involving weekly transfer of anthers from nutrient medium lacking both iron source (ferrous sulfate, FeSO4.cntdot.7H2O, 10-4 M) and chelate (disodium salt of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid. C10H14N2Na2O8.cntdot.2H2O, 10-4 M) to that containing both of these or vice-versa, is that iron if present during the initial culture period, in fact affects the plantlet yield adversely. Thus, anthers cultured on iron-deficient medium, for initial one or two weeks and then transferred to iron-containing medium, yielded higher number of plantlets than those developed from anthers cultured continuously on complete basal medium having both iron and chelate.
