In addition, the yield of green plants was improved by orienting anthers 'flat' on the medium during mannitol preincubation, and reducing the number of anthers cultured per dish.

The effect of anther orientation on culture response has been examined in a range of barley cultivars of agronomic importance. Anther orientation did not significantly affect the percentage of anthers responding. However, orientation of the anthers in the 'up' position with one lobe in contact with
