Abstract
The effect of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and kinetin was studied in anther culture of oat Avena sativa L., wild oat A. sterilis L. and progeny of crosses between them. A high 2,4-D concentration (5–6 mg l–1) increased embryo production in genotypes of both species and promoted plant regeneration in anther cultures of A. sterilis and A. sativa×A. sterilis progeny, while kinetin caused severe browning. However, a low concentration of kinetin was essential for initiation of regenerable embryos from anther culture of A. sativa cv. Kolbu: one green and one albino plant were produced. In addition, medium containing W14 salts gave higher regenerant recovery compared with medium containing Murashge and Skoog salts, when cross progeny were tested.
