Anther culture response in heterozygous triticale (×TriticosecaleWittmack) populations

Advances in Haploid Production in Higher Plants

“…Significant differences were observed for the production of multi-cellular structures and plantlets: N6 and B5 media were found better than MS medium (Sun et al 1980); C17 medium respectively better than B5, N6, and MS medium (Park et al 1995); Potato II medium better than B5 medium, N6, MN6 and C17 (Wang and Hu 1984). Today, some of the defined basal media (C17, N6 and NPB99) are preferred and, are in common use (Eudes and Amundsen 2005;Gonzalez and Jouve 2005;Gut et al 2006;Ponitka and Slusarkiewicz Jarzina 2007). These authors have reported regeneration on specialised media, 190-2, R9, or hormone free MN6, GEM (Eudes and Amundsen 2005;Karsai and Bedo 1997).…”

“…The triticale lines with the maximum number of dominant alleles controlling the character have been used for raising the efficiency of embryoid formation from hybrid triticale in breeding programmes (Kaminskaya et al 1996). It has been suggested that the ability to create embryoids being passed onto the next generation would be better with genotypes originating from two way crosses and the heritability of the ability to create green plants would be similar between the two and three way types of hybrids (Gut et al 2006). All ploidy levels have been observed to be amenable to anther culture and regenerate fertile green plants, this includes tetraploid triticale (Lehmann and Krolow 1991).…”
