Development of sorghum hybrids can immensely benefit from an enhanced anther culture protocol since the resultant doubled haploids would accelerate, as in other major cereal crops, the attainment of homozygosity and fixation of alleles. Production of the hybrids that have got high yielding, stress tolerance and other traits of industrial significance in a shorter time as compared to the current trend can hence be realized. This review presents the advances that have been made in the development of such a protocol, with closer attention to androgenic induction components of pre‐treatment, culture media composition and conditions as well as ploidy determination and eventual chromosome doubling. From the findings of this review, it is clear that further work is desired to ensure a protocol, that to a large degree, breaks the genotype dependency trend that has been widely cited to impede the usability of the tested protocols.

高粱体外雄激素生成的回顾。

高粱花药培养方案可极大地受益于花药培养方案的改进，因为与其他主要谷物作物一样，产生的加倍单倍体将加速纯合性和等位基因的固定。因此，与当前的趋势相比，可以在更短的时间内生产出具有高产量，抗逆性和其他具有重要工业意义的杂种。这篇综述介绍了在开发该方案方面取得的进展，并更加关注预处理的雄激素诱导成分，培养基组成和条件以及倍性测定和最终染色体加倍。从这次审查的结果来看，很明显，需要做进一步的工作以确保在很大程度上确保协议的有效性，
