Preliminary studies were done on the factors affecting the callus inducement from the anther of Jartopa curcas L.,including the development stage of microspores,cold pretreatment,hormone and sucrose concentration.The results showed: compared with other stage,microspores at uninucleate stage were more suitable for culture;the cold pretreatment at 4℃ for 3～5 days is essential to high ratio of inducement;the culture medium that MS+ NAA 2.0mg/L +KT 0.4mg/L +sucrose 9% is comparativelymore suitable for callus inducement.
