In 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 i.nproved by differentiation in the dark whereas differentiation under light yielded more than 90 % albino plants.
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.
