Substitution analysis of callus induction and plant regeneration from anther culture in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
The genetic determination of callus induction, total plant regeneration and green plant regeneration from anther culture were studied using a "Chinese Spring"/"Cheyenne" substitution series. All the three characteristics were found to be polygenically determined, but their inheritance was independent from one another. The 7A and 18 chromosomes had a considerable effect on callus induction. In the case of total plant regeneration the most influential chromosome "as the 3A while the 2D chromosome showed a definite influence on green plant regeneration. The interaction between the genetic background of the recipient plant and the substituted chromosome plays an important role in the manifestation of the studied features.
