Regenerative plantlets with improved agronomic characteristics caused by anther culture of tetraploid potato ( L.).

Objective: As the primary means of plant-induced haploid, anther culture is of great significance in quickly obtaining pure lines and significantly shortening the potato breeding cycle. Nevertheless, the methods of anther culture of tetraploid potato were still not well established.

Methods: In this study, 16 potato cultivars (lines) were used for anther culture .
