The importance of haploids is well known to geneticists and plant breeders. The discovery of anther-derived haploid Datura plants in 1964 initiated great excitement in the plant breeding and genetics communities as it offered shortcuts in producing highly desirable homozygous plants. Unfortunately,

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
Pretreatment with increasing concentrations of mannitol, from 0.3 to 0.7 M, was used to induce stress in cultured anthers of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Three cultivars with varying degrees of androgenetic ability were studied. A positive linear relationship was found between concentration of manni
