SUMMARY

We present a strategy for establishing a transgenic doubled haploid maize line from heterozygous transgenic material by means of anther culture. Compared to conventional inbreeding, the in vitro androgenesis technique enables a faster generation of virtually fully homozygous lines. Since the androgenic response is highly genotype-dependent, we crossed transgenic, non-androgenic plants carrying a herbicide resistance marker gene (pat, encoding for phosphinothricin acetyl transfe...

Registration of a C/M doubled haploid mapping population of rice.(REGISTRATIONS OF MAPPING POPULATION)
Crop Science ; The Louisiana State University AgCenter's Rice Research Station, Crowley, LA, released a doubled haploid (DH) mapping population Cocodrie/MCR01-0277 with 325 DH lines (Reg. no. MP-2, NSL 439502 MAP). The parent lines have been assigned PI numbers, as Genetic Stocks-Oryza (GSOR) 200326 (PI 641931
A SIMPLE WHEAT HAPLOID AND DOUBLED HAPLOID PRODUCTION SYSTEM USING ANTHER CULTURE
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) haploids and doubled haploids have been used in breeding programs and genetic studies. Wheat haploids and doubled haploids via anther culture are usually produced by a multiple step culture procedure. We improved a wheat haploid and doubled haploid production
Reduction of ploidy level by androgenesis in intergeneric Lolium-Festuca hybrids for turf grass breeding.(Turfgrass Science)
Crop Science ; MEMBERS OF THE GENUS Lolium, especially L. perenne and to a lesser degree, L. multiflorum, are desirable turfgrasses because of their deep green color, relatively fine texture, quick establishment, good density, and uniformity. Their major problems are relatively poor persistence and susceptibility

ENHANCEMENT OF EMBRYOGENESIS AND PLANT REGENERATION FROM BARLEY ANTHER CULTURE BY LOW DOSES OF GAMMA IRRADIATION
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY The effects of 0, 5 and 10 Gy doses of gamma irradiation on the enhancement of embryogenesis and plant regeneration efficiency of three barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes, Igri, Arabi Abiad and AECS 76, were evaluated. Embryo yields at 5 and 10 Gy doses were significantly higher than
PLANT REGENERATION FROM RICE ANTHERS CRYOPRESERVED BY AN ENCAPSULATION/DEHYDRATION TECHNIQUE
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY Anther-derived rice (Oryza sativa L., ssp. japonica variety Yerua P.A.) plants were obtained after cryopreservation by an encapsulation/dehydration technique. Immature anthers, excised from spikelets pretreated at 8C for 8d, were encapsulated in calcium alginate beads. The beads were
Inheritance of the Vernalization Response Determined by Doubled Haploids in Spring Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.).
Crop Science ; Early maturity is a major objective of spring oilseed rape breeding programs in western Canada. The successful development of early-maturing oilseed rape lines is aided by an understanding of the genetic and environmental factors influencing time to maturity. Collins and Wilson (1974) determined
MORPHOLOGICAL EVENTS IN CULTURES OF MECHANICALLY ISOLATED MAIZE MICROSPORES
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY In its androgenic response, maize is considered to be a recalcitrant plant. We used mechanically isolated microspores of maize genotype A18 to establish a responsive microspore culture of maize. Morphological events occurring during the first days of maize androgenesis in a microspore
CHARACTERIZATION OF PLOIDY LEVELS OF WHEAT MICROSPORE-DERIVED PLANTS USING LASER FLOW CYTOMETRY
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to determine simply and accurately ploidy levels as estimated by changes in nuclear DNA content of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants regenerated from microspore-derived embryos. Using flow cytometry, the nuclear DNA content of green (83) and albino (222)
