Abstract: | Haploid plants were regenerated in vitro from unpollinated ovules of niger (Guizotia abyssinica (L. f.) (Cass.) on Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium (MS) supplemented with 10 μM naphthaleneacetic acid or 10 μM NAA + 1.5 μM kinetin and 30 g/l sucrose. Gamborg (B5) medium was the best for plant regeneration (in comparison with MS, Nitsch and Nitsch (NN), and Chu (N6) media) from cultured ovules, and 6.66 and 7.33 ovules of JNC-6 and Ootacamund cultivars were involved in direct plant regeneration on this medium. Matured ovules (ovules collected one day before anthesis or on the day of anthesis) only responded to cultural regimes and involved in direct plantlet development. Cytological preparation of root tips and chloroplast counts in the guard cells of leaf stomata of regenerated plants confirmed their haploid nature.
