KNO3 concentration was found to significantly affect the anther culture of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). When KNO3 was increased from 0 to 15mM (in cultivar Jinghua 1) or from 10 to 15 mM (in cultivars 2531-10, Xiaoyan 759 and Norin 10), the callus induction frequency increased significantly. When K

โฆ Synopsis
The effect of employing different sugars in wheat anther culture has been investigated using four Spring wheat cultivars. The most responsive cultivar, Orofen, gave a three to four-fold increase in embryo yield when maltose was used in place of sucrose, with 50 embryos being produced for every 100 anthers cultured. Measurement of sugar concentrations in the culture media indicated that sucrose was more rapidly hydrolysed than maltose. However, neither the osmotic potential of the medium nor the concentration of glucose appeared to be critical factors in determining embryo yield.
