Summary Anthers ofCassia siamea, on culture on B5 medium supplemented with coconut milk (15%, v/v), 2,4-D (2 mg/l), and kinetin (0.5 mg/l), split open after one to two weeks of inoculation and eject a callus mass. Microscopic examination of the anthers cultured at the late uninucleate or early bi-celled stages, after 7–14 days of culture, revealed many multicellular structures at various stages of development, thus indicating the pollen origin of callus. Callus cells also showed the haploid chromosome number (n=14).
