Abstract

Callus cultures were initiated from young inforescences of 7 haploid pollen plants of wheat. The calli from 3 plants were embryogenic and organogenic. After one and a half years of subculture one callus cultures still retained the ability for high frequency of plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis and sometimes directly differentiated ovary-like structures. All regenerated plants were haploid having 21 chromosomes.
