Abstract The technology for in vitro anther culturing was optimized in hexaploid triticale using combination of external factors that allowed to obtain more than 100 doubled haploid lines. Investigation of genetic variation among anther culture derived doubled haploids of triticale showed the occurrence of heterozygous plants.

We evaluated the rate of polymorphism of doubled haploid lines of hexaploid triticale obtained by the method of anther culture based on hybrids of spring and winter types. Using 7 SSR markers for the loci on the chromosomes A- (Xgwm186, Xgwm291, Xgwm595) and B- (Xgwm371, Xgwm540, Xgwm554, Xgwm234), polymorphism of 38 doubled haploid lines of hexaploid triticale was studied. Interlinear polymorphism along six microsatellite loci except the Xgwm554 locus, which is not polymorphic in the studied doubled haploid lines, was revealed. The highest polymorphism was observed for the Xgwm186, Xgwm291 and Xgwm595 loci. The cluster analysis showed that all studied lines were divided into three main groups. The origin of the lines did not affect the distribution in groups. This confirms the influence of in vitro culture somaclonal variation. Eight lines of doubled haploids, which are heterozygous for one of the studied microsatellite loci, were identified. We showed the possibility of using SSR markers to assess interlinear polymorphism and the homozygosity rate in the triticale doubled haploid lines obtained by the method of induced androgenesis in vitro.

We investigated the anther culture (AC) efficiency of thirteen F<sub>4</sub> combinations of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The genotype dependency was assessed during the induction of the androgenic entities, i.e. embryo-like structures (ELS), regenerated-, green-, albino-, and transplanted plantlets. The number of green plantlets per 100 anthers (GP/100A) varied from 0.36 to 24.74 GP/100A with a mean of 8.31 GP/100A. Albino plantlets (AP) occurred in each combination, ranging from 0.20 to 22.80 AP/100A with an average value of 5.59 AP/100A. Between 25–87.76 doubled haploid (DH) plants per 100 acclimatised plantlets (DH/100ADP), depending on the combination, with a mean of 59.74% were recovered. We have found the highest DH production in the combinations Béres/Midas, Kalász/Tacitus, Béres/Pamier, and Premio/5009. This improves remarkably the choice of basic genetic material in subsequent crossing programmes. These observations emphasise the usability and efficiency of in vitro AC in producing a large number of DH lines for breeding and the applied researches of winter wheat. Although albinism was found in each combination, it was mitigated by the in vitro AC application.

AbstractThe Balkan pepper breeding program aims to use in vitro embryogenesis (anther culture) to develop doubled haploid pepper lines with valuable traits. We analyzed the effectiveness of microspore embryogenesis on 17 pepper genotypes comprised of varieties, breeding lines, and F1 hybrids of different varietal types (conical, bell shape, and kapia) and characterized the agronomic traits of newly generated doubled haploid lines. The highest androgenic potential was observed in the variety Stryama and breeding line 560/06 with 9.55 and 13.00% reacted anthers, respectively. Of the 186 regenerated plants, 147 were successfully adapted with a survival index of 79.03%. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the haploid:diploid ratio of regenerants was 1.5:1. All diploid plants were confirmed to be androgenic in origin. There were significant differences in terms of quantitative fruit characteristics of length, width, weight, pericarp weight, pericarp thickness, and productivity per plant among the diploid lines. Also, androgenic lines 21, 23, and 74 derived from Stryama and line 55 obtained from Zlaten medal 7 were distinguished with higher values of some fruit traits compared to initial genotypes. Additionally, several androgenesis lines (Stryama lines 21, 23, and 74, and Zlaten medal 7 line 55) scored higher for some fruit traits compared to the initial genotype. These results show that anther culture is a promising tool for the creation of Balkan pepper breeding lines with improved traits.

Doubled haploids can improve the efficiency of breeding and genetic study in apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). Seventeen homozygous genotypes were obtained by in vitro anther culture from ‘Senshu’ apple. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the ploidy level of the anther-derived plantlets was diploid. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) analysis determined the origin and homozygous status of the anther-derived plantlets. The results of S-RNase polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-digestion analysis reinforced the homozygous state. The morphological characteristics and reproductive potential of the doubled haploids were investigated. It is especially interesting that one of the doubled haploids derived from anther culture had fertile pollen grains (rate of in vitro germination was 20.6%–33.0%), and several progenies were obtained from the cross between ‘Prima’ apple and the doubled haploid. The hybridism of these seedlings was confirmed by SSR analysis. Furthermore, the female gametes of the doubled haploid showed slight fertility. Thus, this doubled haploid will be valuable for breeding and genetic studies.

Pedigree and doubled haploid lines from seven crosses of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were compared over 2 years. The lines were tested, in a randomized complete block design, in row plots at Ste-Foy in 1977 and in hill plots at Brawley, California in 1978. There are significant differences between the two methods of pure line production for grain yield, 1000-kernel weight, plant height, resistance to lodging and date of maturity. Furthermore, these significant differences between doubled haploid and pedigree lines seem to be tied to wide crosses. After showing that doubled haploids are superior for resistance to lodging, we conclude that the use of doubled haploid lines must be seriously considered in a barley breeding program on the basis of improved selection efficiency and the short time required to get homozygous lines.

Karyotype stability, which is essential when using wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) doubled haploids in a breeding program, was evaluated in 14 anther-derived doubled-haploid lines after at least three generations of selfing, by crossing them as females with the parent cultivar 'Centurk' and doing cytological studies on the progenies. There were no deviations from the hexaploid chromosome number (2n = 42) in root tips. Meiotic chromosome pairing was as stable as that in the control ('Centurk' × 'Centurk') in most progenies. Chromosomal structural changes and (or) behavioral deviations were detected at the metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, and quartet stages of meiosis in a minor proportion of the cells. The frequencies of multivalents, lagging bivalents and univalents, bridges, and micronuclei were higher in some progenies than in the control. Chromosomal fragments were infrequent. The ranges in percentages of normal cells were 72.4–90.0 at anaphase I, 76.4–92.6 at telophase I, and 82.6–93.2 at quartet stages in the doubled-haploid progenies, compared with 95–100, 92–100, and 94–96, respectively, in the control. On the basis of these results, the doubled-haploid lines should produce enough normal gametes to provide adequate seed supplies when they are used as parents in wheat cultivar and population improvement.Key words: Triticum aestivum, chromosome pairing, chromosome aberrations, gametoclonal variation.

Cycle zero (C0) of recurrent selection in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) was initiated by diallel mating of seven highly selected parents. A total of 398 doubled-haploid (C0DH) lines were derived from 21 crosses and were evaluated along with their parents in C0 experiment. Seven doubled-haploid lines (DH) were selected from the cycle zero (C0) experiment and intercrossed to form cycle 1 (C1). From the 21 crosses of the diallel, 260 doubled-haploid lines (C1DH) were derived and were evaluated along with the C0 and C1 parents. The frequency distribution of the standardized means of the DH lines from C0 and C1 indicated a slight response to selection for seed yield. Genetic analysis of the C1DH population showed high additive genetic variance for yield per hill, plant height, and yield per spike, and a high proportion of additive × additive epistasis for spikes per hill, days to heading, and 100-seed weight. Seven doubled-haploid lines were selected from different high-yielding crosses represented by C1DH lines. High selection pressure was applied for yield per hill, yield per spike, and spikes per hill. Further response to selection is expected in later cycles. The seven selected doubled-haploid lines will be used as the parents of the next recurrent selection cycle.Key words: recurrent selection, doubled haploids, additive, epistasis, heritability, Hordeum.
