Abstract
The ability of pollens with various chromosome numbers in fertilization to diploid plants and androgenetic plant formation by anther culture were compared by using several kinds of polyploid and aneuploid plants. The totipotency of pollens differentiated into plants by the anther culture was not likely to be strikingly affected by the difference of chromosome numbers, while the pollens fertilized to the diploid plants had a conspicuous advantage in lower chromosome numbers than the others.
