Notes:
Summary Several experiments have been performed in order to induce cell proliferation and plant differentiation from pollen grains by anther culture in barley. Some modifications of the culture media, pretreatments and transfer of the anthers increased notably the frequency of cell division, but the low proportion of normal green plantlets differentiating from microspores and calluses remains the major obstacle preventing the practical use of anther culture in barley breeding.
