Treating androgenic embryos of Aesculus hippocastanum L. with low temperatures (6 °C) improved their germination and regeneration into plantlets. The embryos derived from anther cultures showed better results than those derived from microspore cultures.

Keywords: anther culture; horse chestnut; microspore culture
Subjects: Aesculus hippocastanum; androgenesis, anther culture, androgenic embryos; germination; horse chestnut, microspore culture; microspore development, in vitro culture; nutrient medium MS (Murashige and Skoog); temperature, low, androgenesis
