“…Previous studies showed that the callus induction and regeneration system is the major one used in wheat transformation, and tissue culture capacities of different explants had great effects on transformation efficiency (Pellegrineshi et al, 2002). To date, various explants such as immature embryos (Barro et al, 1999;Fennell et al, 1996;Wu et al, 2009), inflorescences (Caswell et al, 2000;Kavas et al, 2008;Maddock et al,1983), isolated anthers (Brisbe et al, 2000;Soriano et al, 2008), isolated microspores (Mejza et al, 1993;Liu et al, 2004), mature embryos Patnaik et al, 2006;Özgen et al, 1998, and shoot tips (Haliloglu et al, 2006;Viertel et al, 1996), leaf base (Wang et al, 2004) were successfully used for tissue culture, and immature embryos, 14 days after pollination with the size about 1.0 mm, were the most common explants used for transformation.…”
