Anthers of three rice cultivars having late uninucleate microspores were studied for induction of haploid rice plants. Anthers were cultured on Z₂ medium supplemented with various combinations and concentrations of auxins and kinetin (cytokinin). The best callusing from cultured anthers obtained in ₂ medium containing 2,4-D 2 mg l^-1, NAA 2.5 mg l^-1 and kin 0.5 mg l^-1. For regeneration of haploid plantlets anther derived calli were transferred to modified MS medium enriched with kin 1 mg l^-1, NAA 1 mg l^-1, BAP 1.0 ml l^-1 and incubated at 25±1^OC in light. BRRI Dhan-29 produced both green and albino plants while BR-3 produced green plants only. Green plantlets obtained from BRRI Dhan-29 were examined and found to be 69.2% haploid plants.
