There is potential to accelerate cultivar development with a doubled haploid system for breeding line production. Anther culture methodology was evaluated for U.S.A. spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding applications. Gelrite was found to be an acceptable replacement for ficoll in the inductio

✦ Synopsis
The effects of different media and cold pretreatment of spikes on the androgenic response and regeneration capacity from anther culture of tritordeum was studied. L5 medium gave the highest frequency of anther response. The frequency of cultures regenerating green or albino plantlets was not affected by the composition of the medium tested. Cold pretreatment of the spikes significantly increased the frequency of anther response and also the percentage of cultures giving albino plantlets. A mean of four green plants was obtained per 100 subcultured calli/embryos. The percentage of spontaneous chromosome doubling was only 1%. The addition of colchicine at 0.02% to the induction medium significantly increased the frequency of doubled haploids regenerated without any effect on regeneration capacity. This technique proved more efficient than a conventional chromosome-doubling method.

A chromosome doubling technique, involving colchicine treatment of an embryogenic, haploid callus line of maize (Zea mays L., derived through anther culture), was evaluated. Two colchicine levels (0.025% and 0.05%) and three treatment durations (24, 48, and 72 h) were used and compared to untreated
Four antimicrotubule herbicides, amiprophosmethyl (APM), pronamide, oryzalin, and trifluralin, were evaluated for their ability to induce chromosome doubling in anther-derived, haploid maize callus. Effects of various herbicide treatments on the growth and regenerative capacity of callus along with
A method for obtaining a high frequency of haploid asparagus embryos through anther culture was developed. Flowers collected from plants in the field in July, August and September 1990, for the genotype G203, were stored at 5°C for 24 h. Anthers were placed on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) contain
## Culture of broccoli (cv. Green Mountain) anthers at elevated temperatures (e.g. 35°C for two days) prior to maintenance at 25 "C stimulated microspore embryogenesis. Embryo yields were also increased by subjecting excised inflorescences to a short term, high temperature shock (i.e. 45°C for one
