Abstract: Some factors affecting on efficiency of embryoid induction in maize anther culture were studied.The results indicated that a 15 to 21 day cold pretreatment at 5℃ of tassels prior to anther inoculation had a good effect on the embryoid induction;Treating anthers with continuous high temperature at 33℃ was proved to be earlier,better and more embryoids induced than others;Adding activated charcoal to medium resulted in significantly improved embryoid yield;Differences between genotypes were also analyzed.

Key words: Zea mays L., Anther culture, Temperature treatment, Efficiency of embryoid induction
