Abstract
The subject of this review is androgenesis as a process of embryo developme nt from microspores and pollen. A number of factors govern androgenesis, bu t genotype, the stage of microspore development and in vitro culture condit ions are the most important. We summarize some recent work employing a vari ety of experimental approaches to study this fascinating phenomenon of embr yo formation.
