INHERITANCE OF ANTHER CULTURE RESPONSE IN WHEAT

Anther culture of iranian wheat germplasm using different media

Inheritance and expression of transgenes through anther culture of transgenic hot pepper.

Anther cultures have been developed from transgenic donor peppers carrying HPT/J1-1. Eight out of sixteen plants produced from an anther culture set pepper fruits. Southern blot analysis of donors revealed two independent plants with a single copy of the integrated transgene. PCR and RT-PCR results showed the inheritance of HPT/J1-1 and expression of J1-1 in A1. All A1 progeny derived from tran...

New findings in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) anther culture

In this research, some independent experiments were carried out for investigating the effects of microspore developmental stage, bud pretreatments (cold, heat and Ca), and embryo induction medium on anther culture of some strawberry cultivars. The results showed that the percentages of responsive and embryogenic anthers in cultivar Paros in liquid medium were influenced not only by different de...

Genetic Transformation of Wheat (triticum Aestivum L.) Anther Culture- Derived Embryos by Electroporation

This report describes the delivery of plasmid DNA into wheat anther culture derived embryos. Initial electroporation experiments were conducted using enzyme (NT-1) pretreatment, 500 F capacitance, and plasmid pAM2100, which carries the herbicide resistance gene, bar, and the screenable marker gene, Gus. Electroporated embryos were allowed to recover 10 days on regeneration medium and then trans...

Genetic Architecture of Anther Extrusion in Spring and Winter Wheat

Hybrid wheat breeding is gaining prominence worldwide because it ensures higher and more static yield than conventionally bred varieties. The cleistogamous floral architecture of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) impedes anthers inside the floret, making it largely an inbreeder. For hybrid seed production, high anther extrusion is needed to promote cross pollination and to ensure a high level of pol...
