An efficient and robust protocol to induce embryogenesis in lovage (Levisticum officinale W.D.J. Koch) has been developed. Immature anthers, with most of the microspores at the late uninucleate stage, were used as explants, and embryogenesis was induced in medium with combinations of plant growth regulators including α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The frequencies of in vitro embryogenesis ranged from 0.42 to 18.25% depending on the combinations of plant growth regulators in the induction medium. Induced globular embryos successfully developed into heart and torpedo-staged embryos. Fresh anther explants produced the highest embryo formation rate (17.75%). Anthers treated at 4 ºC for 3, 5, or 8 d, significantly reduced the embryogenic response (to 3.52–7.85%). More embryos were induced when the sucrose content in the medium was increased from 3 to 6% (w/v), but significantly fewer embryos were produced when sucrose was 8% or more. Nearly 20% of fresh anthers were able to produce embryogenic structures when cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 10.74 μM NAA, 8.80 μM BAP, 9.05 μM 2,4-D, and 6% sucrose. Furthermore, when silver nitrate was added to the embryo induction medium at 90 μM, the frequency of anther browning decreased by 30% and the embryo formation rate increased to 24.75% of anthers cultured. In total, 418 plants were regenerated and cytological analysis confirmed 11 haploid lines from 187 samples randomly selected.
