Statement I: Hot treatment (e.g., 30°C for 24h) in Brassica stimulates embryogenesis by causing the dissolution of microtubules and displacement of the spindle.

Statement II: This thermal shock leads to normal division of the microspore nucleus.

Statement I: Ethrel (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) treatment increases haploid production by inducing multinucleated pollen grains.

Statement II: Pollen grains induced by Ethrel treatment are characterized by having a high density of starch grains.

Statement I: Commitment to androgenesis is achieved mainly by the overexpression of pollen maturation ('late') genes.

Statement II: In wheat, the synthesis of a metallothionein-like protein during induction is regulated by Abscisic Acid (ABA).

Statement I: In cereal species like rice and wheat, modifying the medium composition can determine whether the cell mass forms an embryo or a callus.

Statement II: The formation of a callus versus a globular embryo is strictly dependent on the temperature and cannot be influenced by the species type.
