Abstract

AbstractIn anther culture experiments with four German spring wheat cultivars (‘Turbo’, ‘Kadett’, ‘Planet’ and ‘Nandu’), ‘Nandu’ showed the best results. The rate of responding anthers with ‘Nandu’ was 0.8 % on medium N6 and 3.7% on potato‐2. This was similar to the Chinese cultivar ‘Orofen’. Higher yields of embryoids could be obtained with medium potato‐2 than with N6.Experiments with medium potato‐2 showed that anther response, production of embryos and regeneration increased with decreasing agarose concentration.Regeneration of green plantlets was improved by differentiation in the dark whereas differentiation under light yielded more than 90 % albino plants.
