This study focusedon wheat haploid production by anther culture. The main purpose wasto compare the in vitro androgenesis response often wheat Tunisian bread wheat varieties on two different induction media. The anthers were introduced in vitro when microspores were in the middle uninucleate stage and obtainedfrom treated spikes at 4° C for two weeks. The culture media 190-2 and BAC3 were used. Plants regenerated from induced embryos and calli were grown on the 190-2 medium without any growth regulators. The response to anther culture was different between the studied varieties. Androgenesis induction was better on the 190-2 medium than on BAC3 medium. In addition, the development of calli and the regeneration of embryos were better on 190-2 medium than on BAC3. Both green plantlets and albina were regenerated from induced embryos on the 190-2 medium, while no green plant regenerated from the embryos growingon BAC3 medium. Four varieties over ten studied gave good number of green plants. These results indicatedthat 190-2 medium was most favorable for the in vitro androgenesis of the Tunisian bread wheat varieties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
