This hypothesis would imply that in other species
with thinner cell walls, less time would be needed for
substance diffusion to the anther locule, and therefore,
inoculation of anthers with YM ? MM would not be
necessary. This was confirmed in pepper, where anther
walls are remarkably thinner than in eggplant
(Fig. 6c), androgenesis is promoted by a physicochemical
in vitro environment which includes growth
factors, and the use of anthers containing VM and/or
YBP has been consistently reported to provide good
results
