Abstract
The orientation of barley anthers on culture medium had a marked effect on their response. Embryoids developed only in the upper lobes of anthers cultured on edge, i.e. with a single lobe in contact with the culture medium. Anthers cultured flat, i.e. with both lobes in contact with the medium, did not respond. Careful orientation of anthers at the start of incubation resulted in a mean yield of 20 green plants per 100 anthers cultured.
