The effect of cold pretreatment of spikes on somatic embryo induction and ather culture response of 25 F1 winter hybrids was investigated.The efficiency of androgenic embryos was the highest when spikes were incubated at 4 C degree for 6-9 days.A total of 2242 (73%) green and 885 (27%) albino plants were obtained from 9900 cultured anthers.Anther culture response in wheat wsa found to be markedly affected by the genotype of donor plants.This percentage of green plants varied from 0 to 115.7%.The great majority of anther-derived regenerants were haploids (82.35%), while the remaining plants were spontaneous diploids (13,73%) and aneuploids (3.92%).
The cleared-ovule technique was evaluated for rapid examination of early embryo development in selfed (barley, wheat) and crossed (barley x rye and reciprocal barley x wheat) material. The pistils were fixed in FAA and the isolated ovules were cleared in methyl salicylate. The development of embryos and endosperm were observed at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after pollination. The embryo development rate in barley x rye crosses was mostly similar but in some cases delayed or slightly faster than in control mother cultivars. In contrast to barley x rye crosses, in the reciprocal barley x wheat crosses the frequency of embryos was lower. The study shows that the technique of cleared-ovule in methyl salicylate may be applied for rapid assessment of early embryo and endosperm development in cereal plants. In comparison with traditional sectioning methods the clear ovule technique is simpler, more efficient and quicker.
The effect of sucrose and maltose in culture media PII, C17 and MN6 on androgenetic embryo formation was investigated in seven F2 triticale hybrid progenies. In all genotypes, the highest number of androgenetic embryos (89.8-320.6/100 anthers) was formed on medium C17 containing maltose. Also the highest number of green plants (6.17/100 embryos) was regenerated from embryos obtained on PII with sucrose. The effect of the physical environment (temperature, light) in the first week of embryo culture on the regeneration medium was tested. The highest rate of green plants per 100 embryos (2.5-11.8) was obtained from incubation at 22oC in the dark. Key words: androgenetic embryos, incubation temperature, media, plant regeneration, triticale.
