작약(芍藥)의 약(葯)으로부터 분리된 화분소포자(花粉小胞子)를 생장조절제가 첨가되지 않은 MS 배지에 배양하였을때 직접 배(胚)발생 과정을 거쳐서 소포자 유래의 배(胚)가 형성되었고, 1mg/l의 PAA가 첨가된 배지에서는 화분소포자 유래의 캘러스가 형성 되었으며 이들 캘러스를 생장조절제를 함유하지 않은 배지에 이식하였을 때 배양 7주 후에 배(胚)가 형성되었다.
Pollen microspores isolated from peony anthers were cultured by agarose embedding method in the MS medium with 2,4-D(1mg/l) or phenylacetic acid(1, 10, 100mg/l), and without plant hormone. It was observed that pollen microspores cultured on hormone-free medium were directly developed into embryos. Callus formation was enhanced from microspores which were cultured on medium supplemented with 1mg/l PAA. Embryos were also formed from the calli transferred into the hormone-free medium.
